Al here, co-chair of London Comedy Writers, writer of the LCW newsletter and experienced script reader. I'm offering notes on your scripts on a pay-what-you-think-they're-worth basis (suggested donations below). Please read this section in full, then email your script to [email protected] if you wish to avail myself of my services, specifying the level of analysis required.
Suggested Minimum Donations (for sitcoms, comedy dramas or other genres of TV / audio pilot, up to 40 pages):
- In-depth analysis, plus any follow up clarifications over email: 5 Books (£25)
For other lengths of scripts - features, shorts, hour-long pilots - please email for suggested minimum donations. Please note: I have experience reading all genres of scripts (with a particular focus on comedy) except Fantasy and 'Faith'-based screenplays.
Credentials: Initially a fiction writer, I have been writing scripts seriously since the 2010s, many of which have placed as finalists in prestigious scriptwriting competitions (see here). In 2015 I completed a Masters in Creative Writing at the London Metropolitan University, a course with a significant scriptwriting component. After enjoying doing script analysis as part of that M.A., I undertook Lucy V Hay of Bang2Write's 2-day course 'Breaking Into Script Reading' which led to me script read for the C21 Drama Script Series Competition the following year. More recently, I have script read four years running for the Titan Screenwriting Contest, an international scriptwriting competition which ran from 2021 to 2024.
In a further effort to hone my script reading (and writing) skills, I began attending London Comedy Writers meetings from the start of 2016. Over the past decade I have read hundreds of sitcom pilots and dramedies through the group, giving feedback in the room to writers which has been described as "unfailingly excellent". A number of LCW attendees have also utilised my script reading services, and you can see their testimonials elsewhere on this page.
That email again to send your scripts to: [email protected].
