What our users are saying...

Ether Books is delighted with the crowd sourced writers and stories that have been introduced to Ether via their weekly short story competition. Ether Books is so happy with our partnership that we are creating a stand-alone Circalit genre on our APP to showcase Circalit's short story writing competition winners. We expect our partnership to grow as the market for short form content on Smart Phones explodes.

Matt's feedback was extensive. Whether you have a rough or solid first draft, his feedback helps weed out story problems, and catches the typos we all miss - even after repeated readings. At a relatively low-cost, such extensive professional and quick feedback is almost unheard of. With future projects, Matt's feedback will certainly be high on my list of stops to take before I consider sending work out.

- Adam Roberts, Writer, UK

The content and the thoroughness of the feedback offered is very good. All the points are useful and assist in making my work better. I really do think that it was very good and value for money

- John Daws, Writer, UK

A thorough and precise review, shedding light on aspects which I hadn't considered would be a problem for the reader, as well as opening my eyes, as it were, to certain sections which need more work. As I am starting a round of literary agent and publisher submissions relatively soon, Silvia Crompton's review will prove to be well worth the money spent. I have already started implementing suggestions and amending accordingly based on the constructive criticisms.

- David Griffin, Writer, UK

The feedback I got from Tom Lazarus was extensive and impressive. The advice and suggestions he gave me have undoubtedly improved my overall piece. The nice thing about the feedback was that it wasn't too formal; it wasn't a strict script report but more a list of a casual suggestions (with scene numbers and specific lines) which, in my opinion, are far more effective.

- Liam Sheppard, Writer, UK

I found Matt's feedback helpful as it was both critically insightful and encouraging. In the future, I will be much more aware of what’s needed to produce a screenplay that approaches the industry standards. I would definitely consider using this feedback service again.

I am to receive an extended publishing deal for my collection of humorous children's stories, all thanks to Circalit and its vibrant community of reviewers.'

-Teresa Hamilton, Writer, UK

I posted my short story Man or Mouse on Circalit and was overwhelmed by the number of positive reviews it received. After turning it into a screenplay it began to attract even more attention from some influential people, which eventually led to the script being optioned by a producer. So a big thank you to Circalit!

- Steve Redwood, Writer, Cambodia

I joined Circalit.com to become part of a writing community and to discover once and for all whether my writing had any potential. Getting my short story published by Ether Books is a massive confidence boost and I intend to enter as many Circalit writing competitions as possible in the future. The Circalit review system is excellent. It encourages you to develop your critical eye and learn from other writers.

- Laura Carr, Writer, UK

I was approached by a film maker in the UAE about a script of mine they'd read on Circalit. They said they loved it and wanted to make it. Now it's a film. So thanks to Circalit, not only have I had a fab film produced from one of my scripts, but I am now actively involved in pursuing other projects.

- Warren Paul Glover, Writer/Screenwriter, Australia

Thanks to Circalit I've received excellent criticism on my work and I was very excitied to win the Circalit Short Story of the Month Competition and get my short story published on the Ether Books App. Circalit is a clear, well-designed and friendly site, providing free access to valuable feedback and expertise across all different kinds of writing. I'm really glad I joined!

- Susan Howe, Writer, UK

When I joined the Circalit community I was made to feel very welcome, and I've made some great friends there. At Circalit I've gained contacts and opportunities that have been invaluable to me in my development and journey as a writer. After winning a free professional critique of my script, I've also had my work acknowledged by professionals, which is very satisfying. Circalit and its members have been invaluable to me and I cannot thank them enough.

- Dawn Chapman, Writer/producer, UK

The feedback I received was thorough, insightful and encouraging, not to mention great value for money. It's very important to get feedback from professional sources in this business as getting constructive criticism from friends can be a total nightmare.

Sometimes whilst writing, it is really hard to see the wood for the trees and be objective, you can over emphasise certain beats and be too vague with others. Proper feedback can really help you see the script as it is, not as you imagined it to be. I'm sure Matt´s feedback will help bring our script that bit closer to the high standard we know it can be.
