Hello – we\’ll be meeting up to discuss Andy\’s short script this Tuesday, and you\’re very welcome to join us to see how one of our crit sessions work – we\’ll be at Derby Quad cafe from 7.30 on Tuesday the 5th July – see you there, or if you can\’t make it, find out more at our website here.

Following May\’s AGM, we\’re at a new venue for our next meeting on Tuesday 7th June-
if you\’d like to see what Derbyshire Scriptwriters do, you\’ll find us at The Flowerpot Pub, King Street Derby from 7.30 to 9.30. See you there!

That was a fast year…
It\’s time for Derbyshire Scriptwriter\’s AGM, so there\’ll be no crit session on Tuesday – in it\’s place, elections for Chair, Secretary and Treasurer, and much more… see you at 7pm, in the Derby Library meeting room on the Strand.

Hello, after contemporary serial drama last month, we\’re looking over a period piece written by DSW member Brian tomorrow night; if you\’d like to find out more, you\’d better come and see for yourself…

Goodness! March? Already? Then it\’s time for the next Derbyshire Scriptwriters meeting – 7pm Tuesday 1st March, at Derby Library Reading Rooms on the Strand.

We\’ll be looking over two outlines for an ongoing TV drama series – it\’ll be interesting to see how the writer deals with ongoing characters, while creating a new story within an established framework – if you\’d like to come along, you\’re very welcome to join us- send us an email to joinus@derbyshirescriptwriters.com

After the snow of December, we\’re back for a new year of critiques and script discussion – our January meeting is in Derby Library meeting rooms on The Strand on Tuesday 4th at 7pm.
No snow, just lots of feedback – if you\’d like to join us, send email us: joinus@derbyshirescriptwriters.com and we\’ll send you an agenda.

Snow and circumstance are against us this month, so we\’ve decided to cancel this December\’s meeting at Derby Library – looking forward to a less snowy New Year.

Been distracted onto other things this week, so I haven\’t had chance to open Anny\’s script until now – looking forward to reading it and critting it this weekend.

Derbyshire Scriptwriters crit a script written by one of the members most months – it\’s good feedback for the writer, and a good reminder for the critter (never called myself a critter before- first time for everything…) about what\’s important for your story, and how it all needs to work together to reach a satisfying conclusion.

For the writer, the collective crit is a good barometer of what\’s working and what needs work on a script – so we all learn something in the process- if you\’d like to see how it all works, we\’ll be meeting up on Tuesday the 2nd of November at the reading rooms in Derby – or email us: joinus@derbyshirescriptwriters.co.uk
