National Talent Academy Film & TV Drama, with ALTAF TRAINING, present Story Room Skills – How to Show Up, Stand Out and Serve the Story Room on a Continuing Drama, a new practical course equipping writers with the tools and understanding required to collaborate and contribute meaningfully to the story room of an existing continuing drama.
This 8-week course will emphasise real-world, room-ready skills: learning the show, generating pitchable ideas under pressure, brainstorming as part of a team, taking clear and actionable notes, writing up stories, applying notes, adapting quickly when ideas are reshaped or discarded, and using production constraints as creative opportunities.
The deadline for applications is 2nd October 2026.
