See our Alumni Achievements and Testimonials for more.
Script Feedback Services
We will read your script, and offer a choice of a detailed written report diagnosing problems and suggesting improvements, or a one-hour telephone/videochat 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.

A conversation is a verbal feedback session via telephone/videochat of up to one hour. Follow-up or standalone telephone/videochat consultations are $110 per hour (one hour minimum). Ongoing consultation packages are also available, as are other screenwriting services.
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. See other important notes further down this page.
