Janice has done it all, from early radio commissions at Radio 4 to staging her own plays, getting a book deal and even getting fired from her episode of Casualty. She was one of the very first writers on 4Screenwriting, on top of a frankly HUGE amount of other schemes, and has had plenty of kickbacks along the way. So to say her journey is fascinating is an understatement - this is an absolute MUST LISTEN for all emerging writers. Even if it's just to hear what happened to her BAFTA literally minutes after she won it... And of course, if you want to follow Janice's career and hear more about her journey, she's @janiceokoh on Instagram 📬 Get In Touch: Email us: TheEmergingPodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram: @theemergingpod Ben is @bmlrobins Martin is @bananabreadfilm Tray is @ByTrayepps ✨ Support the Show: If you enjoyed the episode, please rate and review!
