ABOUT CHARLOTTE CARRICK
Script Editor, Development Assistant, Storyteller & Creator
Since 2021, I have honed my editorial skills at Emmerdale, working as both an Editorial Coordinator and Storyliner. In 2023, I secured a place on Script Ed with Screen Yorkshire, where I completed a placement with RED Productions. I was also awarded a ScreenSkills bursary to complete the John Yorke Story for Script Development course. Additionally, I have read, researched, and assessed projects for various production companies, including Euston Films, Duck Soup, and 42. More recently, I have branched out into book adaptation for the screen, reading for Forage Literary.
In the past, I have worked for Chapel FM Arts Organisation and The Performance Ensemble Theatre Company.
My writing has been performed at the Everyman Theatre, Theatre 53two, The Cockpit Theatre, Ye Old Rose & Crown, and Leeds Playhouse. This year, I was longlisted for the Rope Ladder Regional Breakthrough Writers Programme in partnership with ScreenSkills and Dandi, as well as the Access Northern Writers’ Programme led by Warner Bros, Wall to Wall, and The Royal Court. I am currently supported by The Writing Squad and New Writing North's Script Hub, funded by Channel 4.
I have been involved in many collaborative projects and performances with various northern institutions, such as Yorkshire Dance, Canal Connections, and Leeds College of Music.
I possess a strong interest in and commitment to the arts and cultural sector, which I believe is a vital tool for change.
