I’ve received positive feedback on my screenplays from a major UK TV production company. And a professional TV scriptwriter – a friend of a friend – was kind enough to offer me a free critique and they said I ‘had something’.
Although I was pleased, I didn’t re-write that script, because by then I’d lost motivation and confidence. Despite success in another area of fiction writing, I’ve failed to get an agent, as my work wasn’t up to standard. Understandably, they were reluctant to add me to their client list. My submissions to the BBC Script Room project haven’t got past the ‘first ten pages’ rule, either.
