Feedback Fridays

Professional support, advice and feedback for scriptwriters

Feedback Fridays takes place every 2 months and gives scriptwriters from the West Midlands the opportunity to receive valuable support and feedback on their work from The Rep’s in-house directors.

From all submissions we select 5 scripts, which our directors and Talent Development team carefully read and review. You’ll then receive detailed and constructive feedback to help you continue to develop your work. We’ll also signpost you to exciting writing opportunities across the West Midlands and beyond so you can further hone your craft.

 

I was really grateful for the expert feedback on my draft script. I had been working on it for a while and knew there were issues that needed attention, but I needed advice on what the next steps might be. After the brilliant insights I received, I was able to continue getting my draft to a better standard. I can’t recommend the Feedback Friday opportunity enough.”
– Dan Jones

I would say that Feedback Friday was a really great resource for me, it was really clear and constructive and helped me to solidify the direction in which my work was going!”
– Maya Ostle
