Insights and reflections on accessing the screenwriting industry within the UK
from Somerset based writer, Helen Tompson
Stay up to date with my latest posts.
Send me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
I speak to a lot of writers, almost daily, who share their frustrations and confusion about how to access a career that can feel completely inaccessible at times.
I thought it was about time I pulled together everything I’ve learned and shared my experience along the way, just as I have on LinkedIn, but in more detail.
Things you can expect to see are:
Unique challenges women face
Insights into common barriers
Shared resources: scripts, podcasts, books etc
Observations on the industry
Insights and observations into upcoming submissions and competitions
Reviews on film TV, books, audio, and stage
Rejection!
I promise to always keep this clear, light and as often as once a week.
I’d like this to be a two-way journey. Hearing from you would be really helpful for me to understand what you’d like to see in these pages.
And of course, I’m always open to a virtual coffee sometime, so please do message.
The biggest reason I am doing this newsletter is that it takes a village to raise a writer. I want to share my network with you, and in return broaden my own.
Right, let’s get stuck in.
