Following the success of the inaugural Exchange in 2019, the Women Writers Exchange will return for a second season to build on the industry’s focus on ensuring a wider representation of women in creative roles.  Providing an unparalleled insight into the US Television Drama industry, and its writing, creative and production principles, the 5 days of industry meetings, with US showrunners, writers, producers and drama executives will optimise the participants’ creative and business ambitions.

Tailored schedules provide the opportunity to pitch Agents, Networks, Showrunners, Producers and Sales Agents with the aim of securing US partners and exploring the creative and commercial potential of your concept

Launched in 2016, the Soaprunner Exchange addresses the challenges faced by the studios, executive producers and writers, in maintaining strong storylines for multi-episode or multi-season, returning drama serials and series – the Soaps, Telenovelas and Continuing Dramas

The Exchange utilises the UK’s strong continuing drama landscape providing contrasting sessions with key drama providers for the creative team from a visiting show to analyse and explore the successful writing and producing elements of long running shows in the UK and the new developments in this arena

Under the MediaXchange banner of Creative Vision, we will be developing a Writers Programme in Iceland, Holland and Sweden. The principal ingredients will be to advance the professional development of writers of TV drama, as well as the promotion of collaborative partnerships between writers and producers for effective strategies in developing, pitching and managing shows.
