New Writing SouthWho is it for?
All script writers. This service provides an opportunity to get professional and objective feedback on your script 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?
Your script will be read by one of our independent script
readers.
How long does it take?
Between four and six weeks.
What happens
after the reading?
You receive a written report. The script may be recommended
for further development such as: mentoring or a rehearsed reading. New Writing
