How ironic, given the title I chose for this blog, that it's taken me half an hour to come up with an idea for a first post. To newcomers to this page (which is all of you, I guess, including me), this is not going to be a 'facebook-style' detailing of the minutae of my daily existence as a writer. Hopefully I'll be too busy actually writing to do that.
This blog is simply intended as a companion to my sideline work as a freelance editor and script consultant, in order to share tips, insights into my methods of working and thinking, comments on broadcast writers' work and what you should or shouldn't learn from them, and no doubt after an imbibing of 'writing fuel', the odd very indiscreet insider-anecdote from my long career.
The idea is that visitors who are thinking about employing my services can get a perspective on my tastes, opinions and style before contacting me to help them turn their script into a masterpiece.
I've promised myself a ten minute daily limit on here, so that's all for now. The real stuff starts tomorrow.

- SCRIPT DOCTOR Si Spencer has written extensively for television, including long stints on Eastenders, Grange Hill and The Bill as well as comic book projects, Judge Dredd, Tank Girl and his own critically acclaimed graphic novel series ‘The Vinyl Underground’. He has also been script editor or part of the initial development team on numerous BBC series including City Central and Torchwood. As either writer or editor, Si has collaborated with, among others, Neil Gaiman, Russell T Davies, Tony Jordan, Tony Garnett, Matty Graham, Mal Young, John Yorke, Paul Smith, Jamie Hewlett and Simon Ashdown. Currently taking a sabbatical from writing TV drama to finish a commissioned novel and independent movie, I’m enjoying the opportunity to help other writers solve those knotty problems we all face. If you feel the need for expert constructive criticism, professional validation that your great idea is as good as you know it is, or if you’re beating your head against the wall on a plot point, I’ve been there from both sides of the production and can help you find your own creative solutions to improve your script from as little as forty pounds.
