Applications for Criterion New Writing 2024 are CLOSED.

 

Applications for CNW 2025 will open on 1 September 2024 with a closing date of Sunday 13 October 2024 at midnight.

 

Anyone on my friends and colleagues mailing list will be notified. It is FREE to apply and take part.

 

If you wish to apply, you will need to send a single document (file name = your name) by email to gregmosse@gmail.com, including:

 

- a writing CV, including the names of two referees

- a short statement of 200-250 words explaining why you would like to take part

​

Travel expenses of up to £20 per session will be available on presentation of receipts.

​

Each CNW group will welcome six writers to the stage of the Criterion Theatre, Piccadilly, for a sequence of six highly-focused story & script development sessions.

​

NB - This program DOES NOT provide a platform for the editing / development of pre-existing scripts. It works best when focused on NEW WORKS, one from each of the six writers in the room, with the support of the CNW team.

 

Actors will be present in weeks 3, 4, 5 and 6. Now and then, we will welcome industry guests - directors, producers and so on. Sessions run from 12h00 to 14h30. The provisional dates for 2024 are:
