We are delighted to announce our partnership with write2screen, a network for the East of England based in Norwich for writers of fiction and non-fiction and those working in the film and related industries in drama and documentary, on our next Forum outing in Norwich on our Creative England tour.

On the 24th of April we are honoured to have with us the esteemed Christabelle Dilks as our mentor for the evening. Christabelle Dilks is a writer and script editor with a background in drama commissioning at Channel 4. She has worked with the BBC, Channel 4, UK Film Council, Warp Films, Sentinel, History Channel and Wavelength films as well as developing several independent feature films.

The Underwire Forum is an intimate dinner with peers and mentors, together setting goals and objectives to support you through to the next level of your creative career.

Aimed at female writers who have already made their first short or two and have professionally established themselves to a certain level, the Forums are focused, craft-specific meetups over dinner . We want to create a space to allow you to think ambitiously and confidently about progressing in your creative career. A female mentor from the local region will also attend the dinner, to share with the forum her experiences and advice. We want you to talk about your work, what problems you might be facing in progressing in your career and together we will set goals for the year.

There is a cost of £20, with your meal and wine/soft drinks included.

When: 24th April, 7pm

Where: [tbc, Norwich central]

There are only 7 places available at the dinner, and you must apply and be accepted to attend. Please email [email protected] with a brief description of your work to date and why you would like to attend the forum. You will receive a response no later than 12th of April to confirm your place.
