description: There are increasing opportunities for new writers of plays, be it for stage, screen or radio-but also increasing demands. This highly practical guide looks at constructing a play for each market, drawing on the expertise of leading figures in their field - including James Roose-Evans on holding an audience in modern theatre, Hugh Whitemore on TV and radio plays, Carl Miller on developing new writers and Bob Ritchie on getting into writing teams for long-running TV series such as Eastenders. There are also features on how the main TV companies commission, and how to deal with agents, producers and contracts.
