Call out: create new work for radio
with Verb New Voices
Verb
New Voices 4 is looking for three writers based in the North of
England to make new work for BBC Radio.
Run by the BBC and New
Writing North in partnership with Arvon and The Writing Squad, Verb New
Voices 4 will support three writers to receive professional development
support to create innovative work for radio.
One of the writers selected
will be aged between 18 and 25 years.
Opportunity
Each writer will receive a
commission from the BBC to create an 8-minute piece, which they will
perform for Radio 3’s The Verb. The work broadcast on The Verb may be a
short piece or an excerpt from a longer project.
Besides the opportunity for
broadcast on Radio 3, Verb New Voices 4 writers will also feature at Contains Strong Language
the BBC’s poetry festival, and BBC Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival 2018.
Writers may also have an opportunity to develop their work as a commission
for Durham Book Festival.
As part of their
professional development, writers will receive mentoring from a BBC
producer and will take part in a fully-funded residential Arvon course.
There is a £2000 bursary to take part in Verb New Voices 4.
The deadline for
submissions is 11.59pm on Tuesday 14 March 2017.
