Playwrights' Studio Scotland Mentoring Programme

A mentoring programme for emerging young artists sounds like a really good idea - could it be for you? 

Playwrights' Studio Scotland website: http://www.playwrightsstudio.co.uk/

The organisation describes itself as, 'the nation's only arts organisation exclusively dedicated to the long-term support, development and promotion of Scotland's playwrights', aiming to connect them with audiences and organisations for the enrichment of  Scottish audiences.

Find out about the Playwrights' Studio Scotland scheme on their website.  They introduce it like this:-

"Every year, Playwrights' Studio, Scotland selects at least six aspiring or emerging playwrights for a six month programme of mentoring, by established playwrights, to support the development of new plays. This is an opportunity to improve playwriting skills and gain valuable insight into the playwriting process and profession."  Read more - click here.
