What happens to your script when you submit it to a playwriting competition, or an unsolicited script window? Who are the people assessing it, and what are they looking for? How can you make your script stand out?
This webinar and Q&A is a chance to ask an experienced script reader about the in's and out's of the script reading process, and about the do's and donuts of writing and submitting.
[The webinar will last approximately 45 minutes and the rest of the session will be opened up as a Q&A].
