Literary Consultancy Competition

The Literary Consultancy has contacted us about the following competition:

The Literary Consultancy’s script division is launching a new competition open to writers of theatre and radio drama.

Winners will be judged by TLC’s team of script readers who have worked with the BBC, The National Theatre, The Royal Court, Hampstead Theatre and more. Our script readers have a proven track record within the industry and include prestigious names such as Marcie Kahan, Olwen Wymark, Julia Stoneham and Frankie Bailey.

The competition is open to all writers and entry is free. 5 prize winners will receive a full written critique of their script and then meet with one of our industry insiders for further professional advice. See below for competition rules.
