Jamal announced for BBC Writers Voices
Jamal Gerald has been a member of this year’s Voices development group. Along with 12 other writers, he was part of the the North and Midlands cohort, who have spent the last six months taking part in workshops and attending masterclasses with industry speakers, developing their craft and expanding their knowledge. They’ve also been working to create an original TV pilot outline.
Alice Ramsay (Commissioning Executive for BBC Drama) and Esther Jackson-Burton (Development Producer, BBC Writers) stated: “This group have all come from different writing backgrounds, each bringing a unique voice and perspective to storytelling for screen. Along the way they’ve shared advice, encouragement and the kinds of creative discoveries that stay with you…
We’re so excited to see what they do next with their talent, generosity and passion for storytelling.”
