Hey, TV writers, is your pilot as hot as this?

Get some script notes to help you make sure it is before you submit to producers, agents, or even contests. (Link in bio.)

Watched HALLOW ROAD last night with the always-excellent Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys. A tight, taut and terrifically tense thriller on guilt, denial and coping with trauma. Highly recommend. ★★★★ #filmsky

Phil is kind but gives very astute advice on screenplays at all stages; development, 1st draft to final draft.

Send him a DM.

What's ALD? Sorry. And bot traffic overages? That goes over my head too.

Political correctness gone mad!

We readers get so many predictable scripts.
Avoid cliché. Shock and surprise us.

Writing is rewriting. Working out the kinks, improving, not just making do. Whether it's a book or a screenplay, experts can spot a first draft a mile away. Be a great rewriter. #scriptsky #writingsky

Gearing up for another FULL SHOT analysis of a writer's screenplay.

That's at least 25 pages of detailed notes on all major elements of the script & story.

It's my most detailed standard feedback service and costs approx. £200/$270 (excl. PayPal fees)
