The West Midlands Screenwriters’ Forum was founded in 2007 to provide a cohesive voice for professional screenwriters working in the region. All of our members have at least one screen credit working in film, TV or the computer games industries.

Here to help

We organise professional development opportunities, share industry knowledge, improve networking with other regional film-makers and inspire new creative partnerships; we strive to help regional screenwriters succeed.

Searching for peers

We are always seeking to identify new members to join our expanding network. If you are a professional screenwriter working in the West Midlands please contact us.

Rebuilding the TV industry in the west midlands

Working with the Producers’ Forum two documents regarding this initiative have now been produced;
TV Strategy – What Do We Need (word document)
TV Strategy – A Way Forward (word document)
Please send any and all ideas on how to address these needs to info@producersforum.org.uk.
