Script Editor If you're looking for a script editor experienced in working with both first-time writers and experienced talent, Ian can help. Ian is a reader for SCRIPT, the body for creative writers in the West Midlands, giving advice to wideranging writers on their scripts, and his first feedback was praised "for such excellent analysis and comprehensive advice" by the recipient. As well as acting as Script Editor in a number of feature film and television drama projects, Ian has also edited work for Arts Council funded group Radio Rep and prison inmates for BBC WM, advising new writers whose work was to be broadcast for the first time, and IQK has been consulted by other scriptwriters. |

To have the benefit of Ian's insight through the Script Reader service at SCRIPT, submit your work through http://scriptonline.net for £50-75 to have your script read and advised upon by Ian. The first of Ian's readings resulted in the following response to SCRIPT: "Would you please be so kind as to pass on my grateful thanks for such excellent analysis and comprehensive advice." Ian also continues to offer further Script Reading and Script Editing services independently, and has assisted various other writers in the West Midlands with their own projects recently. Ian was also writer and editor of the surrealistic and wicked media satire Trash FM in 2000-1. |

Before turning professional, Ian was Head Writer on award-winning student soap opera Lenton Boulevard at URN 1350 (The University of Nottingham). He instigated and co-ordinated the entire writing process, managing a team of up to ten writers across two weekly series in 2002-3 and liaising with the production team. Working with up to 35 colleagues, Ian's ambition was to ensure the programme was 'entertaining, not wholly serious or spurious', and to leave an enduring legacy for the station and university. He established flexible but structured scripting processes including various stages of feedback and discussion with the writers in his team, all to tight weekly deadlines. |

Lenton Boulevard won 'Best Entertainment Show' at the 2003 Radio 1 Student Radio Awards (left) and was featured prominently at BBC Nottingham (who hosted the series online and interviewed Ian and co-founder Wayne Widdowson live on air), and The Nottingham Evening Post (full colour third-page feature). The series continues to run; Ian continued to advise his successors when requested as recently as autumn 2004. Executive Producer Wayne Widdowson went on to run a successful year-long community drama project for Radio New Zealand. | |
