We are assembling the GREATEST roster of screenwriting speakers for our 2024 programme!
The London Screenwriters’ Festival will host around 130 professional speakers from all areas of the film and television business. Many have also agreed to intimate online Script Chats after their respective sessions so that you can get facetime with them. Although speakers are being added continuously, the vast majority will be confirmed in the summer of 2024. Get updates by signing up below.
Speakers will trickle into the schedule in the run-up to the festival, so make sure to check back every so often so you can plan your festival!
It’s great that so many sessions are filmed, so that I can schedule another mini-festival at some point in the future!"
