Services and Fees - Script
Consulting
|
Chances are that you have written a script, into which you have
invested a lot of loving and often untiring effort and
you’d like to see that effort rewarded by selling it to a
film producer and, hopefully, see your vision on the big
screen. Even though it is true that it is not always
easy to have your screenplay selected for purchase, it is
also true that, if your script is well crafted, it stands the
best chance to be seen by and recommended by those major
players (film producers, film investors, etc.) who have the
power to make that purchase and turn your creativity into a
film reality. It is my aim as a script consultant / script advisor / story
analyst /screenwriter to do all I can to help you get that very chance, to
help you enhance your script to the level where you can
proudly show it to any film studio, film producer, literary
agent, literary manager, etc.
ASSISTANCE FOR YOUR SCREENPLAY
PAGE-BY-PAGE SCRIPT NOTES
(beyond coverage for the new and seasoned writer)
You can go beyond the coverage level by receiving script notes,
which is an even more detailed, penetrating, and expansive
assessment of your screenplay that will assist you in
your next draft. This is where I use my experience as a story analyst
/ script
consultant /script advisor and screenwriter to spot what
adjustments concerning pace, tone, tension, structure, story
arc, character development, dialogue, description/action,
script formatting and any other elements that are necessary for
your screenplay to be seriously considered for purchase.

another sample)
ASSISTED SCREENPLAY REWRITE
(specific writing suggestions for the new and seasoned
screenwriter)
If you want to receive specific screenwriting
suggestions that include description/action and dialogue
(which you are welcome to use and claim authorship of), your
script can immediately take on that professional polish that
agents and studios look for. (See
sample)

Services and Fees
Every Script Is Different
*Because your script, whether it be for a feature film,
a short, teleplay, a sitcom, drama, comedy, etc., will have
unique requirements that cover a wide spectrum of assistance
(a polish all the way to an extensive rewrite), you can send
me your script (in an e-mail attachment), informing me what
kind of assistance you need on it. I'll read your
screenplay, then write back to you, letting you know what it
requires and what my fee will be to provide that service.

ASSISTED
SCREENPLAY REWRITE
Four Levels of Assisted Screenplay
Rewriting:
1. Formatting, description, editing, proofing
I move through your script and raise it to a studio-level,
improving formatting, description, and proof and edit it,
giving it a more professional look.
This will make it a much smoother, easier read that a producer
could purchase in order to develop it.
2. Scene Work
Including the above service, while staying with the story as
is, I improve the scenes, including the dialogue,
instilling them with more vitality, dramatic import, and make
them more cinematic (as though the reader was seeing the movie
in his imagination while reading through the script).
3. Adjusting story
Including both services above, I can help the script follow a
screenplay structure by coming up with additional scenes and
adjustments to the story (all according to your approval).
I already have some ideas on how to give it the necessary
three-act structure, following the typical screenplay
structure that is necessary.
4. Extensive Rewrite
Including all the work above, I can, with your approval,
deepen the storyline and the characters and extend and deepen
the story so it will be a fully developed screenplay that a
producer can buy and shoot without needing to develop further
or do any rewriting.
