A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
To survive within this highly competitive market takes a lot of balls. Once you surmount on this journey into the world of commercial writing it can often feel like your out of your depth most of the time your wondering if your work will ever "feel" good enough and ponder if it will ever be ready to show to potentially judgemental eyes. But you are not alone. Writing to this level takes practice, patience and a-lot of mental power. Everyone has a story to tell, all they need is a little help to tell it. That's where we come in
Before even putting words on paper you will need some basic guidelines to follow helping you structure your ideas. Your script is going to be maximum 120 pages for a feature length, any page count under 60 pages for a short film script and 30- 40 pages for T.V scripts so your going to need to know how to stay organised throughout your writing and drafting process.
