About Inside the Writers Room
Inside the Writers Room is a professional development program designed to give up to three participants the opportunity to sit with professional writers in a writers room environment, as they work and develop a story into a television script.
This opportunity is most relevant to writers of television content and more specifically to writers of scripted content.
We have an impressive line up of production companies and productions that we will be sending participants to – these include Matchbox Pictures, Channel 7’s Home & Away and Playmaker Media.
There will be an opportunity for the participants to receive advice or a market appraisal of their own television script treatment or concept.
