Script: Bird in the Bush
SWN provided a first class service with very useful suggestions on my script feedback. I will certainly be using them again!
Script: Her Majesty’s Spymistress
This is a wonderfully friendly organization, who have been extremely supportive, encouraging and communicative. From my perspective, they are clearly doing everything they can to make this a competition to be reckoned with. I would highly recommend it.

The script coverage is valuable and constructive (I recommend every writer choose this option) with plenty of ideas to truly make your script production ready.

Script: Death or no Birth
I enter a lot of contests that give feedback/notes, and from experience, I state on authority that this contest is one of the best. The readers actually take their time to read the script and offer erudite suggestions.
Script: Noble Rot
The feedback I received was both encouraging and detailed, pointing out minor mistakes as well as ways to correct anything else. The value of these notes has gone above and beyond any competition I have entered. I am excited to share with my industry contacts that my pilot finished 3rd and cannot wait to see what happens with the fantastic notes. 10 out 10, would recommend.
