Already have that printed out lol - it's sitting on my mantlepiece waiting to be sent off with the script once it's finished and printed.
Even emailed (and had a response from) the BBC to check how to and what to write/include for a writing partnership before filling in the registration application.
Ooh eck. I shouldn't have read the writersroom blog. Evidently they've had over 700 submissions for this... :/
Oh well *starts looking around for other competitions to enter*
Finally got the script returned to us (well me) last week. Obviously we didn't win or get short listed (evidently there were a few scripts with a similar theme to ours...not surprised there being over 700) but I was pleased to note that it had definitely been read past the first ten pages (which was their initial reading). So we're rather happy at a few things:
1. We wrote and finished a project in a relatively short amount of time (completing an achievement in itself)
2. We held their attention past the initial 10 pages
And 3. We are now using this script as an outline/basis for another book series.
Bad luck that you didn't get through but well done that you've got something positive out of the experience. Good luck with turning into another project.
