🚨 Reminder for Writers! 🚨
If you’ve been thinking about using the Killer Shorts Short Script Coverage service, paid feedback on your genre short scripts, now is the time to act.
Order before August 1st!
After that date, we’ll no longer be able to use the Coverfly platform to manage these feedback orders, so we’ll be moving the service to our website. 🪦
Don’t miss your chance to get actionable notes from experienced readers from Killer Shorts. Especially if you plan to enter that script into the competition later this year! Scripts that get our coverage have a much higher chance of advancing in the competition!
For the latest updates, follow us on Discord, Bluesky, X, Facebook, or Instagram.
⛧ Conjure those cursed scripts and make sure to submit! ⛧
Keep it Killer!
