Writers normally only get one shot at interesting a company or producer with a script so it's essential that when the script is sent it's as good as it can possibly be.  It's always good to get another 'pair of eyes' to look at your work, as sometimes someone else can spot a problem the writer may have missed.  Even though friends and family will always offer to read your work, unfortunately they're not always as objective as they could be, and whilst praise is always welcome, a massaged ego isn't a quality writers need to develop in order to secure regular paid work!

A lot of writers rarely get the opportunity to receive a critique on their work from experienced professionals, so our script reading and appraisal service aims to match up writers with people from the industry whose comments and advice will hopefully guide the writer to produce a better rewrite.  Our script readers are either university/college lecturers or professional writers with numerous writing credits and/or qualifications.  Several of our readers also read scripts for TV companies and theatres.

The reading fee for full-length stage/radio plays, films or single episodes of TV series/serials is £40 per script. Short films, stage/radio plays (30 minutes or under), TV sitcom episodes and TV soap episodes are £30 per script.  You can send your script by email to us and you can pay the reading fee using a credit or debit card. If you prefer to send a hard copy of your script and wish to have it returned please add an extra £10 to cover costs.

To pay the reading fee simply enter the Author's name in the box below and click the 'SCRIPT READING PAYMENTS' button, you will then be taken to the PayPal website where you will be able to make a payment either by Credit or Debit Card. Once you have made your payment you will be returned to this page and will then need to click the 'SEND YOUR SCRIPT' button. Clicking this link will open an e-mail, if you follow the instructions in the e-mail you will then be able to email your script and details to us. N.B. Hotmail and other 'web based' email users should click the Hotmail link instead.
