Looking for story development notes? We work with new screenwriters, repped screenwriters, directors, and executive producers, including award-winning filmmakers. If you need creative input and in-depth script feedback in the form of script notes (story development notes) to help spark ideas for you to refine your plot and characters, use this service. We accept film and TV scripts.

If you are a screenwriter who wants to pitch your script to a producer, and you are uncertain if your script is ready to be pitched, get thorough script notes from us to see what aspects of your script need to be polished.

If you are a producer or director who needs insightful script feedback and creative input, our script notes can benefit you. Often times, production companies will invest money in high-end cameras, lighting gears, and set designs, but one area they tend to overlook is the importance of giving their screenwriters useful script feedback. Doing so will help you -- the producer -- reduce the cost of producing your movie or TV pilot because a script that contains scenes that are superfluous to the plot will unnecessarily increase your movie or TV show's production budget, and get your TV show cancelled.

Casting actors to play underdeveloped characters that do little to pull the audience into your story will not only waste rehearsal time, but it can hurt your image as a producer. No amount of special effects or action sequences in a script can continually hold your audience's interest without a good story behind it. A story that struggles to hold the audience's interest usually suffers from weak dialogue exchanges that don't serve the plot, disorganized storytelling, characters that fail to form a bond with their audience, and a meandering storyline.

Our scene-specific notes will point out weak spots in the story to help our clients brainstorm and further develop their stories. The script notes will identify major character(s) and scene(s) that cause story roadblocks. The notes will also include creative input/suggestions to improve your story.

If you are new to screenwriting, please be advised that this is not a "co-writing" service where we rewrite scenes and dialogue exchanges for you. With script notes service, you are paying to receive script notes (aka development notes), the logline, and rating grid. That's it. You are not paying for personal one-on-one question-and-answer session with a script consultant -- which is a different service. Additionally, it is not a proofreading service. Our script notes service is geared towards providing creative feedback to help you further refine your story and characters. When you get script notes, what you are getting is professional, subjective script feedback in the form of notes. It is a one-time service. If you want another round of script notes after you finish rewriting your script, you must order script notes service again. Please know that if your story is confusing, unfocused, or it lacks a solid plot, the logline will reflect that as well. We can't make your logline sound compelling if your story meanders.

Disclaimer:  Please be advised that we are not a literary agency. Therefore, we cannot act as sales agents to sell scripts on your behalf. By browsing, using and accessing our site and using any of the services, you signify your agreement to our Terms and Conditions of Service. It is your responsibility to read our FAQ and Terms of Service.

If the page count of the new script is longer than the initial version submitted, we will email you an e-payment link/e-invoicing to pay for the additional pages. Please also keep in mind that the turnaround time may be longer, especially if the script exceeds 120 pages. In addition, any additional pages beyond 120 pages will be charged at $2.00 USD per page via e-invoicing. In that situation, our customer support team will email you an e-invoice to pay for the increased page count if the new page count falls into a higher price category as listed on this page. So, please make sure you submit the correct version of your script to prevent any delay in the turnaround time. If the replacement script is shorter, and there's a difference in the price, we'll issue you a credit.
