“I am really grateful (and pleased!) with both appraisals and feel I have more than had my money's worth. Both reviewers have taken the time to thoroughly read my novel extract and comment on several areas, not just one or two, that either impressed them or they felt could be tweaked. I'm very, very happy and will definitely be recommending Fiction Feedback to my writer friends” ~ RB

Plays

Constructive critique for play. The suggestions we make in our critiques can transform good writing into published or competition-winning writing.

We have a number of reviewers with a specific background in this area so we’re delighted we can offer our appraisal service for stage or radio plays. (Sorry, no film or TV scripts.)

We offer our excellent critique service at affordable prices. Please submit up to 60 A4 pages, double-spaced, with 2.5cm margins and a type-size of 11 point or larger. (We don’t give a wordcount for plays because of their very different format from a novel.)

Up to 60 pages: 1 critique £69; 2 critiques £99; 3 critiques £135; 4 critiques £165

This is probably a little over half the length of a play with a running time of 3 hours. You’re welcome to include a synopsis of up to 1,000 words. The 60 pages must be contiguous, and we recommend they’re the first 60 pages – a publisher, director or radio producer will always be most influenced by the first few pages, so it’s sensible to include these.

If you would like us to supply critique(s) for your play in its entirety, different rates apply.

61 to 120 pages: 1 critique £95; 2 critiques £149; 3 critiques £199; 4 critiques £255

If your play is longer than this, please email us for a quote.
