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.
