Regional Representatives

“I joined the WGGB when I became a regular writer on a soap opera. I was encouraged by my colleagues who recognised that despite having what was thought to be one of the more secure TV writing jobs it was still important to stand shoulder to shoulder with our colleagues elsewhere. Twenty years later and it feels as if there are no secure TV writing jobs and opportunities for emerging writers are shrinking.

“So, it has never been more important that the work of the WGGB gets done. And a vital part of that work is done by working writers happy to volunteer their time, experience and hard work to support their industry and their colleagues. I am proud to rejoin the EC and help with that work. Especially as I will be representing Yorkshire and the brilliant writers that call God’s Own Country home.
