Script Critiques, Script Editing , Script Doctoring:
Stage play, feature film script, radio drama, television pilot — I’ll give you a constructive, honest critique on story and character levels, along with how the technical aspects of the script affect its possibilities. I have extensive behind-the-scenes production experience in addition to writing experience.
I can edit your script, fixing grammar, spelling, punctuation, and logic issues, and offer suggestions for making the piece stronger in your unique voice. I can punch up dialogue, action, and other elements of the script as your script doctor.
Script Writing:
Need a script? I can develop your idea into short or long formats for television, film, radio, event, educational, or corporate needs. I can work from your outline or treatment, or we can work from an idea and develop the outline/treatment before moving on to the script process. All of this work is done on contract, not on deferred payment.
Script Coverage:
Are you a writer who wants another set of eyes on your script before you send it out? Are you a producer or director overwhelmed with script submissions? I can provide coverage, with an eye to craft, storytelling, and production issues. I provide detailed coverage on plot, story, character, structure, genre expectations, and market slant. I do NOT walk it into production, agent, or management offices.
Coverage Rates are as follows:
30 minutes (up to 35 pages): $25
60 minutes (up to 65 pages): $50
Feature-length (up to 120 pages): $100
Work above 120 pages — negotiated, but it will be above $100
Rush fee (less than 3 business days): $35 in addition to the coverage fee
Adaptation for Audio:
Prose or stage scripts can be adapted for audio, on a per scripted minute or per finished hour scale. Radio/audio spots for marketing purposes can also be created, again on a per scripted minute basis.
Note: These are contracted, paid services, with a non-refundable deposit. These are not “deferred payment” arrangements.
