The Kay Mellor Fellowship is a year-long paid opportunity for a writer based in Yorkshire and the Humber to develop their writing for stage and screen.
The Kay Mellor Fellow 2025 will spend twelve months on attachment with Leeds Playhouse and Rollem Productions. During the 12 months they will:
- Work in tandem with Leeds Playhouse and Rollem to create a new stage play and a TV pitch starting from the same idea.
- Receive a place on the BBC Writers Voices writer development programme where they will hone their skills and industry knowledge through a range of workshops, masterclasses, panels and industry talks.
This is not a full-time role, and it is expected that the writer will undertake other paid work outside of the fellowship. Working hours and timetables will be agreed with the fellowship holder.
To apply visit the Leeds Playhouse website and fill in both forms before the application deadline.
The closing date for applications is 10am Friday 30 August 2024.
Interviews to be scheduled for early November 2024
