Or steal it?

I'm still waiting for a response, but it hasn't been a week yet, so I'm not worried as to where it is yet.

This company looks very interesting. Seeing this has given me the motivation to work on my scripts a bit more, which even if I don't end up sending them for feedback, I still have benefitted from the kick up the arse! Good luck to everyone who sends something to them. Q

I wrote a sitcom episode last summer about the goings on at a music venue. It was the first piece of comedy I wrote and I was quite proud of it for a first effort. The only thing I did with it was enter it in the Angeleye competition and send off the first 10 pages to screenplay productions.

I finally got a reply last week! They said that the leak on BSG had led to a huge input of scripts to them. They liked the first 10 pages of my sitcom and asked to see the rest. I frantically converted it into to correct script format and sent it off a couple of days ago. Now, I have to wait and see what happens!

They do strike me as a pretty decent outfit, i sent them a treatment and got a reply within a fortnight, rejected of course. But good luck with that Ben.

It's nice to have someone who gives a bit of feedback and doesn't just say no without stating why.

They rejected my idea BUT were extremely forthcoming with feedback. Definitely worth contacting.

I found that too, the feedback was longer than the treatment i sent.

I got a rejection from Jan. The feedback was interesting and, in parts, useful. I'd like to know if anybody has got beyond just a detailed rejection.

Do you have to send hard copy?

No, email will do the job.

I think The Slaggs are involved with them on something, and Jan seems interested in some bits of mine. Theyre a good friendly team in my experience. Its good to find a company willing to interect so extensively, even if its just to tell you exactly why youre getting a no, because most give you nothing.

Considering what you've written here (in that you've made it seem like you've only just talked a few times) I'm suprised to see you on there website as a writer they are working with.
