How to Process Feedback On Your Work In this week's screenwriting tip, TV writer and showrunner Ross Brown shares invaluable advice on how to process feedback on your script to improve the story without taking it personally. If you need feedback before tackling your next rewrite, our ScriptXpert team delivers top quality notes for a great price. Read More... By: Ross Brown We all do it. We finish a draft of a script, are excited about it, and want to get some feedback. We give it to a few people and tell them to be honest – maybe even brutally honest (a phrase I hate, but that’s another topic for another day). Yet despite our requests for honesty, we all secretly, in our heart of hearts, want to hear one thing and one thing only: This is the best script I’ve ever read. You are a freaking genius. Don’t change a comma. But do clear space on your desk for the Oscar you’re destined to win. This never happens. And if by some once-in-a-millennium alignment of the planets it did happen, it wouldn’t be helpful. Because none of us are geniuses. Not you, not me, not even (insert name of your favorite screenwriter). We’re just working writers. Our second choice for feedback, barring the you’re a freaking genius fantasy, is a precise list of eleven things in the script that need fixing accompanied by eleven perfect suggestions for how to fix them. Yeah, not so much that, either. Read More...
