Pre-Competition Consults – Book Now!
Spring is right around the corner and that means the deadlines for the big script competitions (AFF, Nicholl, etc) are fast approaching. There’s still time to have your script professionally evaluated by Jill Chamberlain, but you need to book your consultation soon.
The good news:
Jill has a fast 48-hour turnaround from when she reads your script to when she gives you feedback.
The bad news:
There are only a limited number of consultation appointment dates left between now and the big spring competition deadlines!
The great news:
Jill excels at her job! With a Flat Rate Script Consultation ($350), Jill reviews and analyzes your screenplay and then discusses her recommendations and extensive script mark-up in a face-to-face (or Skype) consultation. Her goal is to help you improve your screenplay so that it achieves its maximum impact and is the best it can possibly be.
To book your consultation, email consult@thescreenplayworkshop.org.
