Two years ago we nearly opened this show then - stuff happened - to delay it. It's now opening this Tuesday at a great space Barons Court Theatre. Come and see some new writing and new talent championed by the fabulous Kibo Productions

If anyone is near Barons Court Theatre tonight or the rest of the week, there are several new short plays opening - I've directed one of them (see below featuring #CallumBalmforth) - please drop in and see them & their world premiere. πΈ (& assistant direction) #WilliamMcGillvray

Great session on notes - how to give them, how to react to them - on Scribe Lounge UK. Thanks to @RachtheSmith Sleeping Bear Philip Lawrence π and porN SEx for their insights! Like the idea of clarifying what a writer wants from feedback and what stage their script is at.
Fantastic 10 page session. If any Scribe Lounge UK members are wondering whether to give it a try, do it! Without exception, every note I got - even the ones flagging up what needed work - was supportive, encouraging and inspiring. Thanks for hosting, Jacob Holmes-Brown!
There are some great pod plays in Seasons One and Two of The Scene Podcast - now's your chance to submit for inclusion in Season Three!
We're at nearly 1000 followers! To celebrate, we're hosting a competition: the winner will receive full editorial feedback on their manuscript from a Ki agent! HOW TO ENTER: Follow The Ki Agency and RT this tweet. We'll choose ONE winner randomly once we reach 1000 followers.
Amazing two weeks of screenwriting talks organised by Scribe Lounge UK - didn't manage to get to them all 'live' so really grateful they're all recorded and available to watch later. Anyone interested in writing for TV, film or theatre should check them out!
Fantastic Women in Film & TV (UK) session with Revolution Talent Literary & Media hosted by Christina Pickworth - full of helpful, practical advice and proving agents aren't scary!
Great session from MsMono Productions with Heads of Development Sarah Stack from Kudos TV and emma luffingham from World Productions, hosted by Maria Odufuye. Insights, advice and encouragement - a great way to start the writing week!
