Story x Story #127: Behind The Story With Mariama Ives-Moiba (Scriptwriting)

PLEASE NOTE: We had some audio issues for the first 11 minutes of the episode, but they get sorted from then on.

This week, Nigel and Tazziii welcome the Scriptwriter Mariama Ives-Moiba, to unpack the story that is her journey into writing for television. Mariama has turned a childhood passion for theatre into a freelance writing career, writing on shows that include Pip and Posy, The Rubbish World of Dave Spuds, JoJo and Gran Gran, Little Stories Everywhere and more.

We talk about the craft of writing, Mariama’s routine and how non-technical skills like delivering work on time and networking have served her so well in the industry. This is a great episode particularly for anyone with an interest in turning their passion for writing into their own career in any medium!
