The First Ten Pages
New Scriptwriting from Bath Spa 2007-2008
As any scriptwriter who has submitted work to the entertainment industry will tell you, the first ten pages of a script are the most critical. Nine out of ten times a reader can determine the quality of the entire script by the opening few pages. The First Ten Pages spotlights the talents of students from the MA Programme in Scriptwriting at Bath Spa University and contains a wide variety of writing styles, combining humour, tension, intrigue and pathos through works for film, television and documentary. Featuring script selections from Shari Bollers, Gemma Middleton, Natalie Prochaski, Rod Stacy-Marks and Jamie Whear, The First Ten Pages represents a year’s worth of creative endeavors from the students on this new course of one of Britain’s leading universities in the creative writing field.
