prior to sending it out into the world.
What kind of scripts are eligible?
Scripts for stage, radio and television. Film scripts with prior arrangement. (As film scripts are usually longer in length an additional fee may be payable). Scripts must be finished but you may submit a first draft for feedback.
Who will read my script?

readers.

What happens
