Script Feedback Services

We will read your script, and offer a choice of a detailed written report diagnosing strengths and issues, with suggestions for improvements, or a one-hour telephone/video chat consultation, or both.

We design our feedback not only to give you a thorough understanding of what works, what doesn’t, and what could work better, but also to provide you with a roadmap for moving forward. If you choose the written feedback, you’ll get at least four pages covering presentation and formatting, story structure, plot, character, dialogue, tone, style, and commercial potential. We write a logline and short synopsis so that you can see how your story comes across. Finally, we make clear recommendations so that you can use the feedback to your best advantage. Our commitment to you is that working with us will help you take your writing to the next level, whatever that is for your career.

Feedback pricing is as follows:

A conversation is a verbal feedback session via telephone/videochat of up to one hour. Follow-up or standalone telephone/videochat consultations are $125 per hour (one hour minimum for new clients).

*Two Readers: You can choose to have two readers review your project. For the specified surcharge, both readers’ feedback will be integrated into a single conversation or written report. If you desire two separate conversations or reports, it will be priced as two separate services.

A 10% discount on the above rates applies for alumni of our residential screenwriting labs, “Concept to Pages” workshop, or “Writing Is Rewriting” workshop (see Programs for more information).

If interested, please contact us, and we will be in touch as soon as we can.
