"Before sending it out into the world, a script must be read by someone other than the writer.
It's not acceptable to rely on yourself as the first and last word on your screenplay."
Becky Zoshak

Too often, would-be screenwriters see their work rejected because of unoriginal
dialogue, poorly-developed characters or grammatical errors, all of which can be fixed
before the script ever gets into the hands of a producer. Screenwriting is a collaborative art and
it is important to have your work evaluated and edited before introducing it to the world.
Script Editing
Proofreading
40 cents/script page*
With this service I will focus on grammar, spelling and formatting for your script. This service is
ideal for scripts in their final stages of writing. It does not, however, include extensive reworking
of sentences or paragraph structure. If you feel that you will need a more extensive editing
service, see below.
Editing
$1.00/script page*
This service is ideal for those who need significant help with their script and those for whom
English is a second language. With this service I will fix grammar, spelling and formatting errors. I
will also rework descriptions and dialogue if necessary to improve the script's chances of being
considered. While this service is a more extensive editing, I will do my best to maintain the
integrity of the writer's voice throughout the work.
Draft Revision
$7.00/script page*
More than a simple edit or proofread, with this service I will revise your entire script, editing out
unnecessary details, rewriting dialogue and adding new details and scenes as necessary. This
service is ideal for those who need a considerable rewrite or a new direction for their work.
Script Marketing
Synopsis and Logline

This is ideal for someone who wants to market their script to producers or agents. With this
service I will read the script and provide you with a 1-2 sentence logline and a 2-3 page
synopsis.

Script Analysis
General Notes

feedback. I will read your script and provide you with comments that focus on your overall
presentation, the effectiveness of the story, what’s working and what needs to be improved.
Sample General Notes
In-depth Analysis
$1.00/script page*
This is ideal for those who are preparing for their first rewrite and need some guidance. This is a
page-by-page analysis of your script. I will provide you with 8-10 pages of notes, covering what’s
working as well as what needs to be improved. I will comment on elements such as
characterization, plot, dialogue, pacing, and structure.

Script Consulting Chat Sessions
$30.00/hour

to improve it. Chat sessions may take place using Google Chat or Yahoo Messenger.
