Script Consultations

Our readers have judged for major screenwriting competitions, including Slamdance, Page International, and NYWIFT/IRIS Writer’s Lab. We will read your script, and offer a choice of a detailed written report diagnosing problems and suggesting improvements, or a one-hour telephone/Skype 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 generate 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/Skype of up to one hour. Follow-up or standalone telephone/Skype consultations are $65 per hour (one hour minimum). Ongoing consultation packages are also available.

A 10% discount on the above rates applies for alumni of our Italy screenwriting retreat, “Concept to Pages” workshop, or “Writing Is Rewriting” workshop. See Programs for more information.

Although we pride ourselves in delivering promptly, a fast turnaround fee (generally the greater of 25% or $50) may apply for urgent services.

If interested, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page, and we will be in touch as soon as we can.
