WHAT IS SCRIPT ANALYSIS?
“Script Doctor” - “Script Consultant” - “Script Coverage.” Whatever the term, it boils down to this: even the best screenwriters need a second opinion - an objective analysis of strengths and weaknesses - before sending their script into the marketplace - where even a good idea can meet rejection if it is not polished to perfection.
THE SCRIPT ANALYST can help you avoid this fate. We read and analyze scripts, then provide useful feedback in the form of written and/or verbal coverage that will improve your chances of finding an agent and making a sale. You will get the critical perspective you need to fine tune your screenplay before you market it.
The ORDER SERVICES page will show you our price list, where you can order script analysis on-line with your credit card via PayPal. The HOW TO SUBMIT page provides information on getting your script to us, by mail or e-mail. If you prefer to pay by check, you may still e-mail your script to us, or you may include a hard copy along with your payment.
WHY HAVE YOUR SCRIPT ANALYZED?
Our high-quality, professional analysis will pinpoint weak spots and offer solutions. The costs of making and mailing copies of your script can reach hundreds of dollars. Before taking this step, it make sense to ensure your script is as good as it can be. Check out our list of SERVICES AND PRICES; we are sure you will find one that suits your needs.
WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE SCRIPT ANALYST?
There are many people out there who call themselves “script readers” or “story analysts” or “script doctors.” Some charge exorbitant fees for meagre coverage; others spend weeks nit-picking trivial details, missing the forest for the trees. Many are convinced they know how to write your script better than you do, offering not advice but collaboration. (You should ask yourself, “Why aren’t they writing their own scripts instead of rewriting mine?”)
At THE SCRIPT ANALYST, we cut to the chase! You get the essential fundamental that you need - fast, affordable, in-depth insight. We do not rewrite your screenplay to suit ourselves; we help you make your script into what you want it to be. Whether it is a Hollywood blockbuster, an esoteric art film, or low-brow exploitation - we want you to achieve your goals and “get the writing right before you submit your script.”
WHAT SERVICES DOES THE SCRIPT ANALYST OFFER?
In a nutshell, whatever services you require. From our a la carte menu, you can pick and choose the options that suit you best. We can provide General Analysis for those simply seeking a second opintion before submitting their script professionally, or we can provide Detailed Analysis for those contemplating a major rewrite. In addition, we offer phone consultations, proofreading, page-by-page notes, and options for follow-up coverage. After you have made revisions based on our coverage, you can even resubmit your script for a second read - at a reduced price!

“All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you ! What you said makes absolute sense and I was acutally motivated by your coverage. I will get rid of a few scenes and tighten up my dailogue. I’m going to go back and proofread the hell out of this script. Once again thanks for the advice.” –Marco E.
