Let's face it, choosing someone to read your script and actually getting them to
give you valuable feedback is like a crap shoot. Your family and friends
are gonna tell you that you're amazing; unless they are brutally honest like mine and
tell you when something is actually crap. It's great if you have writing
friends that at least know what to look for and can give you good
notes. But "good" is the operative word.
Now
who wants to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to
some guru who may be jaded and cruel? I did it and it didn't help me
one bit. I know what it's like to look for some good, solid feedback that makes my
script actually better. To look for someone who gets it, who understands my writing
and my style and what it is I am trying to portray. There's nothing less helpful
than sending a script off for coverage or development notes and getting those
notes back from someone who only understands comedies when I submitted a
thriller.
What
I plan to do is to take my time
reading your script, over and over if I have to, doing all I can to really get it and see
if it's a script that's impossible to put down. And if it's not, I will help you get
there. Because that's the goal. Grabbing that reader and forcing
them to turn the page until they hit Fade Out. So check out what I am
offering below, and if you have not clicked on my BIOGRAPHY yet, do so now, and even
give one of my scripts a read to see what I bring to the table.
BASIC COVERAGE
$40.00 -
first timers
get 30% off
This is the basic initial
read where I will write a one to two page "beat breakdown"
synopsis and
outline the strengths and weaknesses of your script. I will also
include
some basic
suggestions, logline, brief, scoring grid and overall grade.

DEVELOPMENT NOTES
$80.00 -
first timers get 30% off
The
development notes are a little more
involved. I go much deeper into the script, reading
it at least
two times to get to the root of everything, and to see exactly what
problems there
may be and how we can fix them. You will get about
three to seven pages of notes, depending
how much work may be involved in
making the script better, with breakdowns in all categories
of your script.
I will also answer any questions and stay on board to help you work out a new
draft.

QUERY LETTER CREATION
A)
$10.00 B) $20.00
This service
is two fold. A) As an add on to coverage or development notes. B) As
a stand alone
service based on your own synopsis and logline. A strong
query letter can be your most solid tool for
getting your script into the
hands of someone who can actually do something about it, be it a producer,
agent or manager. With thousands of other query letters out there, you
want to have your best words
forward to make whoever reads it
want to request your script.
"PITCHING" SYNOPSIS
CREATION
A) $10.00 B) $30.00
A "pitching" synopsis that
can capture the tone and essence of your story and grab the reader in one page
is
probably your most important pitching tool. In this day and age, an
exec or agent of any type will ask to
read a one page synopsis before
requesting the script. Taking your entire script and getting it to fit on
a single page is quite a challenge, but it is something I have had quite a
bit of success at. I will work with
you to bang out a top notch synopsis until you are 100%
happy with it! A) As an add on to coverage or
development notes. B) As a stand-alone, script read
required.

"PAGE ONE" IDEA
DEVELOPMENT
$50.00
If you have a basic idea for a script and
are just not sure where to go with it, I will help you work out that
idea, including the right types of characters to fit the story, plotlines,
act breaks and structure guidelines to
get you ready to go
outline. You keep full rights to the script, as I will merely act as a
coach to get you
going in the right direction.
"FADE IN TO FADE
OUT" SCRIPT COACH!
$200.00
With
this package I will work with you from the get go. It would start with the
above idea development,
right into an outline and I will be here to
read scenes, acts, the entire screenplay AS YOU WRITE
IT, so
you don't get to the end and we find a hole or problem
that sends you back to rewrite 70 pages. I run a
live
workshop
like this and working with feedback as you create the script proves to
be an invaluable tool.
Others charge up and over the thousand dollar mark for a
service like this, but I love this stuff and do
it for fellow writers all the time,
so this is the best that it gets.
