Script consulting

Expert feedback to move your script forward

Thoughtful, practical dramaturgical feedback to help you understand what’s working, solve problems and approach your next draft with confidence.

Whether you’re developing a first draft, preparing for submissions or refining a play for production, our experienced dramaturgs will meet your script where it is and give you clear, constructive guidance on what to do next.

Scripts are usually read by Kimberley Andrews. If another consultant will be reading your script, we’ll let you know before you go ahead.

Our usual turnaround is two weeks. During busy periods it may take longer, and we’ll confirm the timeframe by email before payment.

We work with writers at every stage and offer a range of options to suit different projects, budgets and ways of working. Members save 20% on all listed services except table readings.
