A script doctor is a screenwriter who's hired by a film or TV production company or an independent producer to do uncredited work -- ghostwriting/rewriting to improve specific things in the script such as characterization, structure, dialogue, pacing, scene descriptions, and themes. For those who are new to screenwriting, script doctors are screenwriters who are hired to fix (ghost co-write) certain aspects in a script such as reshaping a character's role in the story and/or streamlining the plot. Script doctors are given the creative license to do rewrites to refine or modify the story, themes, and other elements in the script.

Does your script need a round of script rewriting? If you want to know how much it would cost for our script doctor to do one round of rewriting on your script, submit your script here for the initial evaluation. In order for us to determine how much it would cost to rewrite your film or TV script, we would need to schedule time to read and assess the condition of your script. Therefore, the first step is for you to order our Script Doctor Initial Script Assessment service. The maximum page count per script must not exceed 120 pages. This script doctor assessment service will enable us to gauge how much rewriting your script needs and how long it would take us to do 1 round of rewriting on your script.

Here's what you would get from our Script Doctor Initial Script Assessment service:

1) The price to do 1 round of Script Doctoring (Rewriting) on your script.

2) The turnaround time to complete 1 round of rewrite.

3) A general 1 to 1.5 page feedback on your script, discussing the main weak elements in the story and any main characters that need further development.

Note: Your script must be formatted to industry standard. Also, please be advised that after you submit your script for initial assessment, to prevent any confusion in the script submission process, we cannot accept the swapping out of scripts. So, please make sure you email the correct version of the script you want assessed. If we have not started reading the script, and you decide to cancel after placing your order, we will issue you a refund -- minus 10% of the amount you paid as there is a service fee to process the refund.

    After Placing Your Order
  1. Within minutes, you should get a confirmation receipt sent to the email that you entered at checkout. Please check your spam folder if you don't see it.
  2. Email your screenplay to consultant@thescriptjoint.com as the file type of the screenwriting software you used to type the script. You can also send it as a PDF file. But do know that, later on, if you decide to pay for the actual Script Doctoring (rewriting service), you will need to send the screenplay as the "file type" of the screenwriting software you used to type your script. For example, if you typed your script using Movie Magic screenwriting software, send the script as a Movie Magic file type -- not as a PDF -- because a PDF file does not enable a screenwriting software to properly make changes to the script.
  3. After your script has been scheduled for the script rewrite assessment service., we'll email you the "ready date" of the assessment. All custom work services are non-refundable.
Estimated Turnaround Time
  • 3-5 Business Days
  • Scripts received after 6 p.m. (PST) will be scheduled for analysis the next business day.
  • This service is for scripts that are 120 pages or less. If your script is over 120 pages, please email your script to info@thescriptjoint.com for a price quote and turnaround time. And once you agree to the quote, we can email you an e-invoice to place your order online.
