Reel Authors offers a genre-based screenplay, teleplay and shorts writing contest where scripts are assigned to readers who enjoy that particular genre.
Our promises to each entrant:
Your script will be read by someone who loves that genre.
We have readers who love every genre. A drama script will only be assigned to someone who loves drama, an action script to a reader who loves action etc.

What is feedback/analysis?
This is an optional service that we provide for contest entrants who would like some feedback on their work.
Our reader will produce a feedback/analysis report ('Standard' feedback is approximately 400 words, 'Extended' is at least 800 words) for you. The goal of the report is to give guidance on how your script can be improved: it will include details of both the aspects of your script the reader liked, and those they believe need additional work.
Our readers
We have a small number of hand-picked readers. Our readers love movies and screenwriting, they are either industry professionals or experienced script readers and reviewers. All understand the art of writing for the screen and what makes a great screenplay/teleplay/short.

Entrant feedback
Our insightful feedback and scorecard has received a lot of praise:
"The report and scorecard provided me with invaluable feedback, which will truly develop me as a writer. Competitions like this understand what it means to be a writer and take time to value the effort put into each sentence." (O.W.)
"If you are looking for a reasonably priced contest with great feedback, this is the way to go!" (J.S.)
"I've only run across a small handful of readers that are as adept as the one Reel Authors handed my screenplay to. Thanks for a great service at a great price." (D.R.)
"I don't know who read my script but they obviously had *A LOT* of experience and knew the genre very well. ...their
feedback was outstanding, I know my script will be a lot better for it. Keep up the great work." (J.A.)
