About a one-to-one Consultancy and our Script Reports
'I'd just like to say a BIG THANK YOU for yesterday, for your extremely keen insight into the script, your intelligence and experience and yes, your honesty but gentleness with me - much appreciated. What I write really does come from the heart but that means I have too little distance sometimes, and makes re-writes not as sharp as they should be. Your take completely transformed my own view - giving credence to niggles I'd already had and concerns I was unsure how to approach. Now I feel I'm on a path!'
'Thanks so much for your insightful, honest and detailed feedback for my radio script.'
'Thanks for your responses - all of which where stimulating, informative and inspiring. I will certainly have no hesitation in recommending you to any friends and aspiring scriptwriters in the furture.'
'I found it incredibly helpful and have a clear idea of what I need to do next.'
'Thank you for this very helpful, constructive feed-back.'
'Thank you very much for the reader’s report which really was very helpful and thorough and is appreciated. I agree with their observations. It is great to be able to get a reader’s report from entering, though not short listed, ie it makes the entry of value to the entrant regardless of the outcome.'
'Thanks for the reader's report, it's very useful. I'm off to Cyprus tomorrow and it will be handy to have the benefit of the report's insights when writing on the beach!'

About The Comedy Writing Weekend
Tutors: Paul Bassett Davies and Fenella Greenfield
'A focussed feast of techniques about the writer's comic voice'.
'An intensive course that will force you to improve your work and get you thinking about your writing'.
'You crammed amazing amounts into two days!'
'I put off going on this course for ages, mainly out of fear. But it was enormously instructive and feedback was given in an objective and non-judgemental way. Really enjoyed it'.
'Many thanks. You've opened up a whole new way of thinking for me. inspiring! Knock knock . . . '
'I write to thank you for your terrific efforts over last weekend. It really did surpass my expectations in terms of both content and usefulness. And as one who has always devised ideas and written alone in the past, it came as something of a revelation to discover, as we worked through the tasks, how valuable and productive collaboration can be. I obviously have much more work to do before, hopefully, completing at least one project perhaps vaguely worth surrendering to the mercy of a script editor but at least I now have a much better insight into comedy writing conventions and the tricks of the trade to serve as a sound basis for my efforts. I am grateful to you both for devising and presenting such a worthwhile event.'
