Hello! Spring has sprung, the sun\’s out (sometimes) and it\’s time for our April meeting, where we\’ll be discussing DSW member Di\’s new script-in-progress. If you\’d like to join us, come along and say hello on Sunday, or email joinus@derbyshirescriptwriters.com
Hello, I\’ve just been appointed Movie Editor for brand new television show and website XO.TV.
I am currently in need of talented writers to produce movie reviews and features for the site. As a fledgling start-up, there will be no remuneration to begin with. That\’s the bad news. The good news is that those that produce superb copy will be in line for paid roles a little later down the line.
If you are interested or know anyone that is, please email me at j.michael@xo.tv
Following the success of DSW member Richard getting onto last year\’s Pint Size plays shortlist, we\’re having a pint sized writing session in March, It\’s great to hear the news that DSW member Chrissie\’s play Number 17 will be performed by the children of Ashbrook School on December 15th at 6.30pm. Chrissie discussed Number 17 as a work in progress at one of Derbyshire Scriptwriters monthly meetings, and it\’s great to hear it\’s now about to take to the stage- we wish the writers, cast and crew the very best for their performance.

Merry Christmas! It\’s almost the end of the year, but just enough time for one more DSW meeting- this month\’s meeting is a write- in session.
You\’ll be in good company with like minded scriptwriters who know the important thing is to get it out of your head and on to the page. Just bring your laptop, portable typewriter, pen and notebook, pencils and paper, charcoal and wood bark(!)- whatever it is that gets the words flowing.
And of course, when people ask you what your new years resolution will be, you can tell them you\’ve started already…
If you\’d like to join us, come along on the day, or email us to say hello-
