Scottish Radio Lab

The Scottish Book Trust and BBC Scotland Radio Drama are now planning the next Radio Lab. This Lab is particularly aimed at emerging and established writers who are already working in other media. It is open to poets, prose writers, and dramatists.

The Lab will be run over five days and participants must be available to attend throughout the duration of the Lab.

The Lab will include a mixture of practical workshops and projects and talks from experienced radio producers and writers. The Lab will also include a day during which writers will have the chance to hear their work being rehearsed and recorded by professional actors.

The Lab will be based in Glasgow and Edinburgh and will take place on the following days:

Thursday 10 September
Friday 11 September
Monday 14 September
Monday 28 September
Tuesday 6 October

This opportunity is only open to those living and working in Scotland who have been professionally published, or have had a professional production of their work.

Applicants will need to supply the following:

• A proposal for an original radio play
• An explanation of why you want to write it
• Two sample scenes of the play
• An extract from your published work
• A CV

Deadline: Friday 17 July 2009 4:00pm
