Writing for continuing drama is an achievement to be proud of, but we all know that there are no jobs for life in television. If you’ve written for soap, and want to try something else, what’s the next step? How do you build a lasting career, and develop your voice as a writer, in a notoriously unstable industry? What other options are there, apart from television? How can writers generate their own work – on screen, audio, stage, in books, or in any other form? Lisa Holdsworth and Gail Renard tackle these questions and more, in conversation with WGGB Chair Emma Reeves. 

Life After Soaps takes place 5-6pm, 22 August 2024.
