Saturday Script Swap (Free Screenwriting Meetup) | ScriptCamp

Need feedback on your screenplay? Bring it to the Swap!

How does it work?

• Use this form to submit your screenplay to to the Script Swap: https://forms.gle/hZavn3W7p7PF5C5QA
• Then join the meeting on Saturday (Sunday (Aus/NZ/Asia time): https://discord.gg/2dTheH5Y2H
• During this session, you will be matched up with other writers to swap critiques. If you want feedback on your script, you will need to read at least one other script. (If you want two sets of notes, you will need to read two scripts, and so on.) We will try to match everyone with scripts of a similar genre and page length.
• You have one week to read the other person's script.
• Then one week later, at the next session, give your verbal feedback on what you read and you'll receive feedback from others.

Remember, to participate and receive critiques, you must attend the meeting and be willing to critique other people's scripts. Also, your script must be in standard screenplay format.
