  • Submission guidelines

    For submission of your manuscript, Word docs and PDFs are acceptable. Please include a synopsis. Please ensure that your manuscript is correctly formatted before uploading. Fiction and non-fiction manuscripts must be in 12-point, double spaced, and page numbered. Poetry can be presented in its original form. Script formatting guidelines can be found on the BBC Writers Room page here

  • Poetry & Short stories

    Poetry can only be submitted as a word document (due to the structure of PDFs the line count is unreliable for fee calculation).

    Short stories must be submitted individually.

    If submitting a complete collection of poetry or short stories please contact TLC to discuss the best fee.
