​The Bechdel Boost: a feedback opportunity


​

We're pleased to offer the BECHDEL BOOST - a dramaturgical program for writers interested in personalized, Bechdel Group specific feedback on their script. 

After our pilot Boost season, we are now offering Boosts at three levels:

Level One: $40
Your submission fee plus a Boost covering (up to) the first 30 pages (scripts) or TV Pilot/first half hour (screenplays)

Level Two: $80
Your submission fee plus a Boost covering (up to) the first 60 pages (scripts) or short narrative up to an hour (screenplays)

Level Three: $100
Your submission fee plus a Boost overing (up to) the first 100 pages (scripts) or full feature (screenplays)

Where does this money go?
One quarter of your fee goes to company expenses (printing, website fees, staged readings, etc.)
Three quarters of your fee goes directly to the dramaturg.

What kind of feedback will I get?
Your feedback will usually include:
  • Thoughts on the overall arc/structure of your script
  • Thoughts on dialogue 
  • Comments on character development and effectiveness
  • Comments specific to our mission 
  • Comments responding to a question posed by the playwright 

Selecting a Boost (or not) has no impact on the workshop inclusion decision.

Feedback will be sent after the close of the submission process. We aim to do so within the month post submissions closing.

We value your work and do not want anyone to get a less than thorough reading. If we find ourselves at our dramaturgs' capacity, we reserve the right to close the Boost option for the remainder of the submission window. (We will not, of course, do so retroactively.)

"What a fantastic evening in Kristine's Eggs on Ice reading!! Thank you so much y'all!!"
~ Thelma M. Reyes

"The casting was fantastic, and the light staging worked perfectly. The whole night was really helpful to me for continuing to develop the piece, especially the dramaturg-led talkback."
