Script Consultancy & Dramaturgy

I regularly work with creatives to support them in the development of their work, either in one-off feedback sessions or in ongoing collaborations. I am also an experienced reader, writing script reports for competitions such as the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Award, The Raindance Film Festival and Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting.

What I Offer

Individual Feedback

A thorough read of a script, providing around 2-3 pages of feedback. For longer projects, such as full-length plays and films, I also provide page notes for specific details. I always give the writer the option of scheduling a call in afterwards, to discuss the feedback and further ideas for the project.

Ongoing Support

Supporting a project in the long-term, whether it be until the production of a final draft or a performance/ filming of the script. The support I provide is specifically tailored towards the needs of the project.

Pay What You Can!

Currently offering pay-what-you-can Script Consultancy & Dramaturgy services. I think everyone (especially emerging creatives) deserves the chance to access support to get to the best version of the story that they want to tell, no matter their budget.

Testimonials

"Joanna's notes on my script were exactly what it needed. Through both specific comments within the document, and broader observations about the script as a whole, Joanna identified areas of weakness, and offered enlightening insights into how these might be more developed."
