We are drawing on our experience and embarking on an exciting new mentoring and development scheme aimed at cultivating the writing skills of talented authors and screenwriters by working with industry professionals, as well as providing insight and advice on how to bridge the gap between talent and industry. The scheme will run over the course of three months and will include three one to one sessions with an agent/ script editor, as well as two group sessions with agents, award winning and bestselling authors, editors and scriptwriters. The best candidates will be considered for representation by Tibor Jones & Associates. What will set the scheme apart is that all aspiring authors and screenwriters will have a friend in the industry they can learn from. Our first intake will be in mid September.

The group sessions will take place close to the Tibor Jones office in Brixton. The total cost for the three month scheme will be £500. Candidates should already have completed a screenplay or a novel or a nonfiction project. Interested candidates should submit approx 15 pages of a screenplay or 5,000 words of narrative, plus a CV by August 16th to sophie@tiborjones.com (for fiction and nonfiction narrative) or to adam@tiborjones.com (for screenwriting).
