You have a great idea for a script. Or you already have a script and want to make it shine. Don’t go it ALONE. Get help from INSIDE the industry – get ScriptXpert. ScriptXpert is a service that helps you develop your script from a rough draft or outline into a polished screenplay ready to be submitted to producers, agents, and managers. Even professional screenwriters value outside opinions about their script:

  • Does it have a strong plot?
  • Are the characters dynamic and real-to-life?
  • Is the story tight and marketable?

Get the answers you need from a coverage service designed to help you through every step of the process.

Your ScriptXpert Advisor

Our ScriptXpert advisors are hand-picked industry experts with years of network and studio experience.

You will only work with an advisor currently employed in the industry and who has at least three years of professional script coverage experience for a major studio, network or development company.

Your ScriptXpert Coverage

Your ScriptXpert advisor will customize script coverage to whatever stage of development your screenplay is in.

Consult with your ScriptXpert advisor as early as the initial rough draft and develop a marketable logline and story treatment.

Or wait until you've finished your script. Your ScriptXpert advisor will give you complete script coverage and notes for your plot, scenes, structure, characters, action, dialogue, or writing style.

When your script is ready and receives a "Recommend", you have the option to send it out to interested producers, agents, and managers who have asked to review ScriptXpert recommended scripts.

How the ScriptXpert service works

We simulate real-life industry procedures and feedback in addition to providing personalized suggestions on how to improve your script. The coverage you receive is the same coverage agents or producers would request from their own readers. In addition to coverage, our readers give you professional feedback on what would make your script more appealing to agents and producers. Turnaround time is two to three weeks. Prices are designed to allow you to use the service as often as needed. If your script receives a recommend from one of our readers, your logline and contact information are e-mailed to a list of interested agents and producers (with your permission).

Our Readers

We look for readers who are currently working in the industry with a minimum of three years experience providing coverage for a major studio, network or agency.
