Radio opportunity
"BBC Radio Drama North are looking for talented writers based in the North of England, with compelling stories to tell."
As a writer based in the South of England, it's not so interesting for me.
I've noticed a lot of BBC opps looking for Northern writers only.
One can only assume it's to do with the Beeb moving certain departments to Salford.
I think its a diversity thing. Not enough 'voices' from the north, apparently.
They just want people who know where the nice coffee is in Salford...

I live in Spain and come from the south. If I write with a scouse/northern accent do you think I'd stand a chance?
Can anyone tell me how to write with a scouse/northern accent?
I can learn yer to talk propa.
I didn't like the one they are about to produce [gypsies] That has been basically played out for real on the Gypsy wedding documentaries
