London Screenwriting Agents Use Crowd-Sourcing Platform Circalit to Find Thriller Screenplays
London screenwriting agents, Dench Arnold, have teamed up with Circalit to source screenplays online. The crowd-sourcing phenomenon has already proved successful in industries such as music and charity, and is now being replicated in the screenwriting sector. Screenwriters post up their thriller screenplays online at Circalit (www.circalit.com) where the online community read and rate the entrants, giving writers feedback on their work. The most popular scripts are then considered for representation by Dench Arnold.
Elizabeth Dench commented, “We’re very happy to be using Circalit to source talented new writers. We hope this competition demonstrates the power of crowd-sourcing to access a global pool of talent.”
Any member of the public can upload their screenplay to the competition for free at www.circalit.com. One entry per person only. All submissions are open to public voting, but writers may choose how much of their script they wish to share with the public. The deadline for entries is 1st May 2011.

Guding Lights: Deadline next Friday
This kinda snuck up on me but the deadline for the Guiding Lights mentoring scheme is Friday 11th March.
You can find all the details by clicking on the link above. It's not an entry level thing. You need a small track record to be eligible. But if you do, it's well worth applying for. The mentors they get are top quality and some prestigious championing your work is - in my opinion - one of the best ways to get ahead in the industry.
Good luck

Comedy Festival Ticket - Apologies
As equality sweeps through the Middle East (well, ahem, that's the idea) it's only right it should prevail
here too.
Unfortunately Janice's big heart and my unquenchable desire to be liked has this time exceeded our reach.
The £30 discount we offered yesterday is unfair to the other people working hard to sell tickets at the standard £25 discount.
So apologies for any inconvenience caused. Please still click here to buy tickets for the exciting festival and use the janiceday discount to get £25 off!
Still a bargain. Still an event not to be missed.
