NOTES SPECIAL
The Page Turner 100, with it’s new writer focused approach and previously unlimited notes, was such a huge success for our writers who submitted, that it made us rethink how we do all our competitions.
Many of the writers who submitted to the Page Turner 100 emailed us asking to continue this competition as the notes were so valuable to them. The one on one notes with a professional working writer turned out to be the kind of feedback that new writers could use to dramatically improve their writing - and they did!
This led us to create an add-on that we are offering now in all our competitions.
During any of our competitions you can apply for the NOTES SPECIAL OFFER:
You will receive entry into the competition.
A full set of PROFESSIONAL LEVEL NOTES, complete with pages of in-depth feedback and practical suggestions on how to strengthen your script.
The FIRST SET OF NOTES will include a page by page detailed edit looking for formatting, spelling, grammar or other practical issues within the script.
The SECOND SET OF NOTES will be an in-depth analysis of the script based on elements of story such as but not limited to – Character, Story Beats, Theme, Dialogue, Description, etc…
