Channel 4 New Writers Scheme

Deadline: 6pm on Wednesday 25th June 2025

Channel 4 New Writers Scheme

Channel 4’s New Writers Scheme is a one-stop-shop for new writers with a burning desire to write TV drama. It is open to unrepresented new writers looking for their first writing credit. This scheme is aimed at those currently underrepresented in the TV industry. They are particularly keen to hear from Deaf and/or disabled people, ethnically diverse people and people from lower socioeconomic groups.

This development programme is targeted at emerging writers from the UK’s Nations & Regions, with applications welcomed from writers living near one of our Channel 4 Hubs: Bristol (Wales and the West/South West of England), Glasgow (Scotland) and Leeds (Northern England).This year, applications will also be accepted from writers based in Northern Ireland.

Full details and apply via 4Skills website

They will be hosting a one hour online Q&A webinar for applicants on Thursday 12th June. To register for this event please click here.
