The Radio Comedy Writers' Bursary
The writers bursary has a long history of nurturing great new writing, and writers who came through the process in that time have since gone on to write on existing shows on TV and on Radio, and also to generate their own projects.
From 2007 to 2019 Victoria managed the application process, and was involved in selecting new writers to join BBC Radio Comedy and work across all of its output.
