This workshop looks at successful tactics and common pitfalls, to elevate your storytelling across any genre or medium.<\/p>\n Megan Herbert has worked for almost two decades as a story liner, script writer, script editor, story producer, and development writer for television shows including long-running Australian drama Neighbours, and BBC dramas EastEnders and Holby City.
