Last Saturday Derbyshire Scriptwriters held a fantastic session with Neil McKay, one of Britain\’s most respected and successful scriptwriters at the University of Derby.
Neil\’s insights into his experience of writing for television and radio were well received by an audience of writers from inside and outside of the county, and the whole day was a terrific opportunity for DSW members and non-memberss to get together and discuss the craft of bringing a story to life through drama.
Just a day later, and our guest speaker was in the audience of the Bafta Television Awards, watching his most recent drama, \’Appropriate Adult\’ collect three major awards. DSW would like to thank Neil for his time, the University of Derby for their great facilities, and everyone else who made it a brilliant, inspirational day – here\’s to the next one!
