GREENLIGHT SCREENPLAY COVERAGE

Whether you're writing for television or film, we can help you make the best first impression with agents and producers by working together to perfect your script and ideas.  

Our consultants actually work within the studio system and are the people who decide the fate of your script submission. They are the experts that studio heads and development executives turn to for help in identifying material that should be bought. They specialize in weeding out the best writers and script premises worthy of studio sales. In addition, studio heads and development executives contract our consultants to help them develop scripts they've bought in order to get them a production green light. 

Trust the experience of an employed studio professional to focus on areas that need improvement, as well as make suggestions for amplifying your movie script's greatest assets. Discover what readers are thinking when they evaluate your screenplay, and the reasons they might cite for giving you a pass coverage. 

We are pleased to offer these consultants and specialized services to suit your needs. 

**We will try to provide a two-week turnaround time from date of submission.

Available online only.

Thank you, Greenlight. I love all the new ideas you've given me. I'm planning to have revisions back to you within the three months.

You're ready to dive into the spec market, but may be unaware of how difficult it is to achieve that rare phenomenon known as a "hot spec" that registers on every buyer's radar and results in a bidding war. It's everybody's dream, but the reality is hard work and some lengthy development before you even show it to an agent.   

Even if you're lucky enough to get your script sold, and even if you're a high paid writer, the studio will put you through a rigorous development process to improve every aspect of your script from idea to dialogue. This is an opportunity to receive the sort of notes that writers are getting on projects they have in development with the studios. Have every aspect of your script analyzed in order to make the best first impression with agents and producers. Help boost your selling potential by fixing the things that executives will immediately recognize as problem areas. Sellers and buyers have no patience for logic problems in the plot, character inconsistencies, and meandering storylines. You'll receive specific suggestions for developing your script; including its premise, storyline, acts one two and three, character, and dialogue.

This service includes up to four pages (single spaced) of notes covering both broad and specific suggestions for improvement. Based on scripts of up to 125 pages.

Have your treatment (or synopsis) of a screenplay, television movie or pilot analyzed before you sit down to write the movie script. This is an opportunity to define your premise, solidify the plot elements, and hone character definition before you begin the first draft.  

This service includes a 2-3 page analysis (double spaced) of your treatment or synopsis for a screenplay. That will identify the strengths, weaknesses and marketability of the idea, characters and story. These story notes will include suggestions for improving your idea so that it can be realized as a great film script with saleable assets.

This service is for a treatment or synopsis and is not to exceed 30 pages (double spaced).

Your screenplay is written, but you can make it better by receiving detailed notes on how to amplify its assets, and ways to strengthen its weaknesses.  

It's essential to make the best first impression with agents and producers. Our service will boost your selling potential immeasurably by identifying the areas that executives will immediately recognize as problem areas.
