About the Scriptwriters Group (SWG)
The Scriptwriters Group (SWG) is a community of scriptwriters, and it represents script and screen writers across digital, broadcast, AV and theatre.
We support members and associates by providing professional, individual advice, negotiating collective minimum terms agreements with organisations such the BBC, and lobby on policy and legislation to promote the interests and protect the rights of scriptwriters.
In addition, we manage a series of seminars, panel discussions and ‘in conversation’ style events throughout the year, on matters of interest to members working across these industry sectors. We also publish interviews and develop resources for publication on the SoA website and via our quarterly journal, The Author.
The Group is made up of an elected committee and the Group Chair is Rhiannon Tise.
Whilst the committee directs the work of the group, the day-to-day administration is handled by Co-Administrators Sophia A Jackson and Theo Jones. Email either Sophia or Theo with any scriptwriting-related topics, concerns or suggestions that you might wish to raise with the committee.
