SCRIPTED DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE
COMMISSIONING COORDINATOR | BBC DRAMA
May 2022 – PRESENT
My current role is as vital editorial and production support for a BBC Drama Commissioning Editor, working very closely across all elements of the process. I have been the first to read and heavily advocate for projects that have since been green-lit for BBC One after my input, namely The Guest (BBC One) and The Other Bennet Sister (BBC One). On the latter, I have been working closely with Bad Wolf on Script Edit duties as the project has gone into production.
I am trusted to give development notes to producers, as well as taking writer/general meetings. I have give notes on production drafts and fine cuts on greenlit shows. Supporting the BBC & Netflix Disabled Writers Scheme, which is very important to me as a disabled individual myself.
Being at the BBC has allowed me to really learn the importance of regionality within UK productions and helping bring up new and underrepresented writers. I have also extensive experience of Editorial Compliance. Includes extensive diary management & being good with people.
