We also asked award-winning writer and producer, (Charlie and Lola, Baby Jake, Shaun the Sheep, Timmy Time, Tracey Beaker Returns, Topsy and Tim, The Octonauts etc) to share his top tips

1. No-one should know your characters better than you… So know your characters! 

2. Never submit an idea or script you aren't 100% happy with. 

3. Never give alternative scenarios for an idea - Be definite. 

4. Distill your story/series idea down to it's basic components. Is it speaking to a pre-school audience? 

5. Have a 10 minute power-nap at about 3.30pm. You'll be amazed. 

6. You will get frustrated as this is a collaborative process… So never email angry!

Good luck!
