RACHEL
TAYLOR LEAVING SCRIPT
After
five years' of working for Script, Rachel Taylor
has decided to move onto pastures new. She
will be leaving the organisation at the end of
March when her current contract comes to an end.
Rachel said, "Working at Script has been
a fantastic experience. But I feel that
the time has come for me to seek out fresh challenges.
I'm also half way through the MPhil in Playwriting
at Birmingham University and want to focus my
energy on completing the course. I'd like
to send my good wishes to all the writers and
partners I've worked with during my time at Script".
We wish
Rachel all the best for the future and thank her
for her hard work over the last five years.

is a primary reason British screenwriters fail
to sell their scripts. They either think
it doesn't matter, or think it's easy. They

We are therefore delighted to bring you this one-day
workshop with a tutor whi has taught genre to

WRITERS'
RETREAT
If you're
looking for the ideal place to finish that play
without distractions or disruptions, look no further
than this small cottage nestled in the Brecon
Beacons. With a panoramic view of the Black
Mountain, the cottage had a wood-burning stove,
dishwasher and television. Otherwise, the nearest
pub is 1 mile away and the neighbours consist
of kites, buzzards and horses.
Sleeps
7.
