TV and Film Script Development

This analysis provides specific methods to help you craft a tighter and more saleable script, and develop your skills for telling a compelling and dramatic story. The service can be tailored to your requirements, and take the form of either a script assessment, copyediting or structural/developmental editing.

For complete scripts submitted requiring structural/developmental work, the writer will receive a comprehensive editor’s report, analysing the story arc, plots and subplots, character development, momentum, turning points, images, action and dialogue. Questions or comments are also recorded within the report for your consideration as I progress through the script.

TV or film scripts can be reformatted using Final Draft software during this edit for an additional fee. It is important to note the use of professional screenwriting software prior to presenting your script for either review with an editor or submission, so that your formatting, pagination, font and margins are all industry-standard. Available options for writers include the industry-standard Final Draft software and Highland 2 (free app).

Estimated fee: 5 to 8 cents per word.

Please note that the above is only an estimate. The actual quote will be provided once I have received a final draft of your script. This will ensure that the quote is based on your specific editing needs. You can request a no-obligation quote by submitting the form on my Contact page.
