  Future Plans: What's the overall direction of my writing career?

  Sep 29, 202655 minS1

  Where do you see yourself in the next five years? It's a big, boring, frustrating question that gets asked a lot, sadly because it has a bit of weight. Especially when you're a writer and trying to figure out where you're heading. It's such a competitive industry, it's very easy to get lost in the weeds and turned around by the concept of actual work; sometimes we lose sight of why we started writing in the first place. So today we're talking future plans - what's the big idea? The general direction? The dream career goal we're all charging towards. Whether that's writing Halloween XVII or just making bucketloads of cash...

  Competition Entry Fees: How much is too much? (Summer Catch-Up Part II)

  Sep 22, 202634 minS1

  Summer's over, so we're not only wrapping up Martin's production stories from the set of his new short LICKS, we're also taking a look at the upcoming Autumn scheme deadlines - not least the surprisingly inflated entry fee for one very prominent competition. Is £65 too much to pay to give your script a chance at flourishing? When are all the deadlines this year? And how exactly does one get themselves added to the 4Screenwriting Rejects WhatsApp group?

  Collaboration: How do I write with other people?

  Sep 8, 202648 minS1

  Sometimes it's more fun to "share the load" as Samwise Gamgee would say, so this week we're talking collaboration - what it means to share the writing responsbilities on a script with one or more other people! From how to make the tech work, to what a good partnership looks like, and our own experiences of both, including the several doomed attempts to write together as a trio. Ben is also namechecks a few very celebrated and successful writing partnerships if you want to do a bit of further reading/listening (Will McCormack and Rashida Jones who wrote The Invite, and Lucia Aniello and Paul W Downs who wrote Hacks with Jen Statsky).

  Tray and Ben are back from the Edinburgh TV Festival, wrapping up what they saw, who they saw and what they should do next - from following up with new connections, to making the most of the inspiration.

  Prioritising: How do I choose which project to prioritise?

  Aug 4, 202647 minS1

  When you've always got too much to do, how do you plan your work and projects to make sure you're prioritising what's important? It's one of the ultimate questions every emerging writer faces, especially when you're juggling paid work, family life and 100 scripts that all feel like they're so close to finally being done. There're only so many hours in the day! So join the three of us as we take a swing at trying to understand how we organise our lives and our priorities, between getting as many vomit drafts together, to dropping out of festivals to focus on making stuff, to watching your life disappear into evening after evening of DIY because somehow, you think once it's all done, it'll make you more productive.
