WORKSHOPS
What people who've attended, think about the workshops that I run.
Gemma Boswell – Development Assistant
How to write a TV drama treatment was a brilliantly hands-on and informative course. It was a fantastic way of gaining top insider knowledge and receiving constructive advice that can only help improve your writing.
Gale Barker – Researcher/Writer
Yvonne is a powerball of energy, humour, and wisdom. There is never a dull moment in this hands-on course, which provides an authentic taste of what it is like to take part in a storylining conference, but in a safe and supportive environment. Never have so many storylines been created in such a short time by so few! A real creation experience!
David Bishop - Writer on Doctors Series XI
I studied storylining on a workshop led by Yvonne, and the original pilot script I wrote straight after got me a trial on a BBC continuing drama series.
The Script Factory - Script Development Organisation
The Television courses we have held with Yvonne have been exceptionally well received and the comments below illustrate how valuable, stimulating and just plain fun they have been for everyone attending, be they screenwriters, producers or script editors."
Sonia Garbettt - Writer
Yvonne inspires you to dig deep. She identifies your strengths and weaknesses and then gives you the tools to improve.
Sue Nelson – Broadcaster
Yvonne's storylining workshop was superb. Her enthusiasm, experience, and 'tell it like it is' humour made the course an invaluable learning tool. It stretched all of us, gave practical structure advice that crosses and informs other related media and made you realise whether you were suited to writing as a group - I loved it!
Lee Ramseyer-Bache - Media Student
The long running TV storylining workshop was a highly productive and refreshing experience that showed me how collaborative ‘round table’ writing is actually done. I have never participated in such an enriching and enlightening practical workshop. Yvonne is an excellent and insightful tutor who creates both a relaxed and productive atmosphere to work in.
Alison Seddon – Writer
I really enjoyed the storylining workshop. It was absorbing, challenging and fun, really well structured and led with professional ease. I left the 2 days with greater confidence and a clearer idea of what to do next. Yvonne clearly knows her stuff!
GENERAL COMMENTS
From Laurence Timms - Writer
'Excellent, priceless material. It's easy enough to get script-centric advice but pragmatic real-world knowledge like this is very hard to come by.
Thanks!'
Liz Holliday - Writer
Yvon's newsletter and top tips are a wonderful blend of inspiration and practical advice. Doing one of Yvon's courses at the Script Factory helped to give me the confidence to apply to do an MA in Screenwriting at the London College of Communication, which I have just completed.
Jeremy Carne - Writer
Yvonne disarmed us and we became, for our two days, a fledgling community. With egos tucked safely out of the way we could really work.
