Bisha K Ali teams up with
Netflix and Sky to support six screenwriters from minority backgrounds
The Sex Education and Ms Marvel writer Bisha K Ali is launching a screenwriting fellowship with Netflix and Sky that will give six people from under-represented communities a year’s salary in an effort to make the TV industry more inclusive.
Ali hopes that taking away the “sense of clawing financial instability” that many young writers face will reduce the barriers to entry for people from black, Asian and other minority backgrounds and help mitigate the effect the pandemic is having on bringing new voices into television.
