In 2018, BAFTA welcomes another group of talented craftspeople to its Elevate programme: writers.
BAFTA Elevate is designed to support people from underrepresented groups in our industries progressing in their careers, and to help tackle the issue of diversity in our industries as a whole.
Below are the 18 talented writers we've selected for BAFTA Elevate 2018 and who represent a range of abilities, genders, races, sexual orientations or socioeconomic backgrounds.
The group will take part in a bespoke 12-month programme of support including networking opportunities, introductions, mentoring, tailored panel discussions, masterclasses and workshops focused on professional development.
