Hello. I hope you are well. I have a question which you may find unusual. However, I recently submitted a full length play to your competition. Last night, while reading the beginning on page 5, there is a mix up in wording which could possibly confuse your readers. My sense and hope is that as your readers read on past page 5, any confusion they might have had will be cleared up. What are your thoughts about this? Do you think that there is a need for me to formally address this with some details to help your readers not get confused?
Hi Kevin,
Please contact the organisers directly with any queries as they might not see this comment.
Best of luck,
Kimberley
