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

Send him a DM.

Political correctness gone mad!

Phil Clarke @philmscribe.bsky.social · 14d

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)

4Screenwriting is open for applications to the 2026 cohort. Polish that script and send it in - still genuinely one of the best writing schemes in the UK and can launch careers overnight. #scriptwriting

I've seen many exquisite, beautiful and rich French films in my years, but I've just seen for the first time Bande à part and... wow... that was hard work. 🫩 #filmsky
