Writers' Assembly


Screenwriters' Workshop
lsw.org.uk

Respected London-based not-for-profit organisation. Essential first stop for beginning screenwriters wishing to learn the craft and understand the industry. Has helped launch many writers into film and TV, with members' successes regular proof of this energetic and hard-working organisation's effectiveness.




The Writers' Guild of Great Britain
writersguild.org.uk

The writer's union, supporting the writer in all media. A great looking site with plenty of information and resources.




The Society of Authors
writers.org.uk/society

Another support organisation, offering debate and information. Primarily aimed at authors (as opposed to screenwriters). Free legal advice for members (they helped me draft my first professional contract for Praise Be To Gordon).




BBC Comedy Zone
discontinued

More than just information on BBC comedy. Also provides advice for submitting material to TV and radio, as well as advice on what not to send and downloadable script templates (as much for their benefit as yours).
