CBBC New Writing 12:45pm on 04 Jun 2009 Hi there,

Sorry to be a crashing bore but there was some haaa-hooo over Sharps last year and post and whatnot, so I was wondering if our scripts would get email acknowledgements of receipt this year? (I've sent mine in already)

Thanks!

The Perfect 10 08:56am on 29 Mar 2009 Passion is definitely the *thing* readers want - a script full of what I call "heart" is ALWAYS going to get my attention, even if it has lots of mistakes in. There's nothing worse than reading a script that is soulless, no matter how well crafted it is. However, the problem with passion or heart is there is a certain level of personal interpretation of what it is on the reader's part; script readers are human, they have their own likes, dislikes, experiences, prejudices and when they respond to a script these can't *not* come into play. Despite this though, a writer must still write every project with passion - some people won't "get" what you've written, but that doesn't mean it's void. And of course there are always the people who will get it - which is why writers should show their work to as many people as possible, not hide it away.
Writers Academy 2 09:52am on 16 Jan 2009 Some good advice Ceri - particularly "putting emotion on a the page". Heart counts for so much when reading scripts I think, it can carry a story through other ailments it has like craft issues. But stories with heart stay with you.
