The London Screenwriters Festival is pleased to announce a partnership with script consultancy ScriptUp for its 2021 edition.
Over the past two years, ScriptUp has brought together a band of agency staff and production company readers to provide writers with industry-informed feedback on their work. ScriptUp aims to be more than just a script coverage company — their detailed script reports and video call sessions help screenwriters in three main areas:
-
1. In accessing a level of feedback usually reserved for writers represented by agents or managers.
-
2. In anticipating how an agent, manager, production company or competition reader will respond their material.
-
3. In improving their writing with the help of detailed feedback.
Writer feedback has been outstanding so far, with the service averaging 4.92 stars out of 5 on third-party review sites.
In their first year, ScriptUp worked with over 200 writers to fine-tune their screenplays. The team has built partnerships with top production companies both in Europe and the US, saving time and money for producers by offering an out-of-house development department for coverage and script editing. For individual writer clients, this ensures that ScriptUp’s advice is informed by an up-to-date knowledge of producer appetites. Key titles that ScriptUp consulted on last year include KINGSLAYER, THE NET, THE ISLAND OF THIRTY COFFINS, and the fourth season of the award-winning BABYLON BERLIN (ARD, Sky, Netflix). ScriptUp is also an affiliate member of the Writers Guild of Great Britain.
At LSF 2021, if the event goes ahead in-person, ScriptUp will be running ‘meet, greet and collaborate‘ sessions at its on-site stall.
