Series Mania’s UGC Writers Campus Opens Call for Applications

The call for applications is now open for the UGC Writers Campus by Series Mania, an immersive weeklong writing workshop for 20 emerging TV drama writers throughout Europe.

Eligible candidates, writers who have had at least one professional experience on a broadcast TV drama series or have graduated from a partner school, can submit ahead of the submissions’ deadline on December 18. Under the editorial supervision of Lorraine Sullivan, the third edition of UGC Writers Campus by Series Mania will run from March 20 to 27.

Over the course of the week, UGC Writers Campus will function as an incubator, where writers will be immersed in an environment dedicated to their work with access to tutors, mentors and industry decision-makers. In a final showcase held during the Series Mania Forum, the campus’ work will be presented to industry professionals and projects will be heard at roundtable pitching sessions.

Laurence Herszberg, founder and general director of Series Mania, said: “Organized to kickstart the next generation of European series creators, UGC Writers Campus by Series Mania has been designed specifically for the writers of tomorrow, where they can simultaneously develop their own projects and engage with industry executives.”

UGC Assistant General Manager Brigitte Maccioni added: “The partnership with Series Mania around the UGC Writers Campus is perfectly in line with UGC’s desire to promote authors and diversity in all of its businesses.”
