As a playwright and dramaturg, I regularly support fellow writers in developing their scripts and have recently been a reader for The Space Theatre’s open submissions window. I enjoyed it so much that I’ve opened up my own script reading service! My rates are: • £20 for 10 pages (short plays or 10 page extracts of longer works) • £50 for 10 pages + one to one consultation • £50 for full length plays • £80 for full length plays + one to one consultation Please input the correct amount for the service you want when you pay, and email your script to kayleighmaihinsley@gmail.com! If you’re short on funds right now, don’t hesitate to use my pay-what-you-can option instead — there are 15 slots available this summer! Book one here: ko-fi.com/s/68df0c75a3 I look forward to reading your script! * * * What you’ll get: 📝 A detailed written report of 1-2 pages of tailored feedback on your script — this will include the strengths of the script as well as questions, thoughts and suggestions for the next draft. ✍️ Annotations — I also make (digitally) handwritten notes directly onto the script while I’m reading, recording my reactions, how I felt and what I enjoyed as I go along. 💬 The opportunity to ask questions and begin a conversation about your piece. ☕ A one to one consultation (optional, +£30) — this is usually a follow-up conversation about your play and the feedback I’ve given you, where we can discuss your script in detail, bouncing ideas back and forth over Zoom, or over a coffee (or a Zoom-coffee). 🥰 Kindness — I know how much poorly-worded feedback can hurt, so my approach to script reading stresses the importance of feeding back in a way that is kind, considerate and encouraging yet still interrogative, constructive and actionable in order to help writers best tell the stories that they want to tell. * * * Writers have said: “Thank you Kayleigh for being such a wonderful dramaturg. I’m so grateful to have worked with Kayleigh. She is a highly skilled dramaturg. Kayleigh is encouraging and positively curious with her analysis of my scripts. She asks me inspiring questions about my characters that I hadn’t thought of myself. I’m so impressed with her phenomenal memory and she remembers my dialogue more than I do. She is my go to dramaturg.” — Frances Ruffelle, writer & Tony Award winning actress “Kayleigh’s feedback was very insightful and clear. She helped me to discover the parts in my play that needed further exploration but also the ones that were strong and work. All with kindness, respect and from a positive perspective that felt very motivating. I truly recommend her.” — Héctor Manchego, writer & videographer “Kayleigh’s dramaturgical support was really helpful in the process of writing my play. I’ve always felt at ease with her notes and really value the feedback she’s given me - her approach is kind and warm-hearted while still critical enough to power the next draft forward. I would whole-heartedly recommend Kayleigh as a dramaturg!” — Dan Scott, playwright & theatremaker “I had the privilege of receiving dramaturgical support from Kayleigh and it was invaluable to the development of my play and writing practice. I found her feedback spot on; she has an understanding of story, plot and character that is deeply insightful. I thoroughly recommend her services to any writer. Regardless of what stage of development, I have no doubt Kayleigh will provide valuable feedback which will elevate any project.” — Celeste Engel, playwright & filmmaker
