Getting notes on your screenplay can be a pretty bruising experience, no matter who they're from, whether it's a friend, a loved one, another writer or a high ranking TV exec. But as you've probably heard, it's a truly vital part of the writing process, and something that everyone, no matter how emerged or successful, has to endure.
So let's talk about it - the good, the bad and the ugly of both giving and receiving notes on your work. The art of taking a note, when to action it, when to ignore it, and when to consider it politically. Who we show our work to and ask for notes from. And the art of giving notes on other people's work too; as a writer, you'll definitely be asked what you think, but how far should you go? Should you be pitching new scenes, or just giving a basic thumbs up or thumbs down? And of course the age old question (which we really go deep on), should you ever pay money for coverage notes from a service like WeScreenplay, The Black List, or Coverfly? (and what happens now a lot of them are shutting down?)
