Why would I want this?:
As a writer you are immersed in your own process. Just writing “the end” on the last page of your script is enough to get you excited about sending the script out into Hollywood offices… and NOW! Unfortunately, producers, assistants, executives, and production readers can smell a young author a mile away. There are certain points and road signs that every screenplay needs in order to get past the first reader. Your script won’t get a second chance. Why not make sure it’s the best it can be BEFORE you start your mailings?

Services:

• I will read your screenplay and give you 3 to 7 pages of notes on what works and what doesn’t. All areas of the script will be considered; pace, character, story arc, act 1 and 2 breaks, love interest, clarity, structure, secondary plot, and writing ability.
• I use Syd Field’s rules of thumb which are industry standard.
• I will provide an industry standard summary of your script which you will then be able to use for future submissions.
