Join us in the pop-up space on Pier Street for a workshop with Writers’ Guild of Great Britain (WGGB).
Understanding what you’ve been asked to agree to in a contract is a vital aspect of any writer’s career. But how do you know what makes a good contract – or a bad one? And how can you be sure you are protecting yourself, your work and your rights?
WGGB assistant organisers and caseworkers, Joe Abel and Eleanor Dawson, will deliver a 90-minute interactive workshop to demystify the contractual process in theatre, TV and film writing, covering:
- What types of contract you are likely to be offered
- Legal terminology and how to cut through the jargon
- How to avoid common mistakes
- What makes an industry-standard agreement
- WGGB collective agreements and how they work
Joe Abel and Eleanor Dawson work to support the national, regional and craft committees on industrial issues affecting writers in the UK.
