As writers who consistently submit our work to various contests, labs and workshops, we noticed a gap in the industry for informed, constructive feedback that is not competitive or scored.

So we decided to start SCRIPT EATER: a screenplay coverage and feedback service for writers at any level of experience.

We love reading shorts, pilots and features that challenge the norm and give voice to the under-represented.

Every idea can be good.

“Script Eater was an invaluable tool during the development process. It allowed me to see my project from the outside looking in, and understand how it might be distilled and talked about by potential collaborators. Often receiving notes brings out the most emotional side of me when middle of writing. The objective and direct nature of Joslyn's work allowed me to reflect on my own work in a more constructive way then I have been able to in the past.”
