Testimonials
There has been a great response from comedy creators already on the panel who have received reviews on their own work and enjoyed reviewing the work of other creators.
Here’s what a few of them have said:
“I have really enjoyed reading and re-reading the work of a fellow creator (love that title). Identifying the good and the not so good points is really useful, not only for them hopefully, but also for me. It has certainly heightened my awareness of where I make mistakes and fail to see them time and time again.” Judith Woodfield
“I’ve found Ask The Crowd brilliantly helpful; I have been able to rewrite my script after seeing where the common pitfalls were and making the good scenes better.” Tina Mander
“I don’t have a writing partner so a fresh pair of eyes is invaluable to pick up on parts of a script that could be stronger. Although comedy is subjective, you still need to craft a clear-cut story that anyone can follow. Re-writes will be needed! With Ask The Crowd you get actionable points from someone who writes in the same style and format and so knows what’s possible.” David Drakeford
“Beneficial to both creators and critiquers, Ask The Crowd helps you to expand the understanding of the comedy craft from a shared knowledge with people at all levels of the genre.” Sam Broberg
“I found it very useful, especially because it’s done anonymously, as you feel you’re getting honest feedback.” Tash Goldstone
“It is amazing to get such detailed and thoughtful reviews from fellow scriptwriters. They have spurred me on to work more and redraft the script. The first report you sent was incredibly detailed… The second and third reports were just as helpful and constructive and I could tell that the writers had thought about their impressions of the script. It was good to see advice repeated between reports, so these are likely to be the points I focus on developing most. Overall, I’m very grateful; this is a wonderful service and network which you have created.” Lauren Johnston
