:: ::

Anne Edyvean is the head of the BBC Writers Room. The Writers Room is the creative heart of the BBC set up to discover and develop writing talent for future shows.


I got her on the podcast to talk about...


  • What is the BBC writers room?
  • What are they looking for in scripts
  • How the internet has impacted people’s attention and the BBC.
  • How to make a living as a writer and where you can get your “10,000 hours” and first credits.

 

AND MORE!

 

This podcast would be useful to anyone comedians or writers looking at getting their work seen by the BBC and developing a career in television.

My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it here for £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book - 

 

The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.


The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.


If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.

 

If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.
