Just had a great bit of news about a play we\’ve blogged about before – DSW member Richard\’s play \’It\’s all in the Mind\’ will be performed by Zoom Arts on May 11th at Western Front in Brighton.  It was originally one of the winning Pint Sized Plays performed last year, and it\’s great news that another theatre production company has taken an interest in Richard\’s writing.

We\’re really pleased to hear that DSW member Emma has had one of her short stories published in the Boo Books anothology, Breaking the Rules –  for more information, take a look on the Boo Books website here.

Congratulations to DSW member Richard, whose play \’It\’s in the Bag\’ will be featured as an open rehearsal slot at From Page to Stage, part of the Pomegranate New Playwriting Festival 2014.

Reading stories is a big part of getting a better understanding of how great stories work, which is why we\’re really pleased DSW member Mike has just become a professional Reader for a major UK TV and film production company.

Spring has sprung (well, it\’s sunny), so if you want to get your script ideas growing, come and join us to see what stories we\’re cultivating at the moment – come and say hello at Derby Museum on the first Sunday of the month, or email us – joinus@derbyshirescriptwriters.com

We\’ll be meeting up this Sunday on the first floor in Derby Museum to discuss the treatments and outlines for two scripts we\’ve submitted to Derby Quad\’s \’Shine a Light\’ programme. If you\’d like to join us and see what we\’ve been up to, drop in and say hello, or email us joinus@derbyshirescriptwriters.com

Good luck to DSW member Richard, who will be performing in his own short play as part of Winter Warmers at The Theatre Bar in The Pomegranate Theatre, Chesterfield on Thursday 12th December.

Congratulations to DSW Member Emma whose short story \’Raymond Crow\’ is part of an anthology due to be published this month.

The Quad Writes Anthology launch event starts 7pm, Wednesday 11th December at Derby Quad, with readings from some of the featured writers.

Brrr!  I\’m having to type faster to keep my fingers warm in this weather- looking forward to warming up in the good company of Derbyshire Scriptwriters this weekend as we discuss our collaborative works in progress from earlier this year.

If you\’re involved in scriptwriting for stage, screen or radio, and want say hello, you\’ll be made very welcome – come along on the day and say hello, or email us – joinus@derbyshirescriptwriters.com

Until then, keep warm – keep typing!

Hello, after a great meeting last month to discuss collaborations on a whole raft of new projects, we\’ll be back to discussing one writer\’s work this afternoon – Mike\’s been working on a couple of outlines for his screenwriting course, and we can\’t wait to get critting!
