We've been in business since 1999, starting off with just
one script reader and an email address,
and now we're the film industry's #1 choice for script coverage.
"Wait... What exactly IS script coverage? And do I
need it?"
Studios and production companies work with script readers to read submitted spec scripts and provide script coverage(brief memos called "coverage reports.") Many super-busy studio execs, producers, and agents rely on these "coverages"to know which screenplays they need to actually read for themselves and which screenplays they don't.
Screenplay Readers provides this level of industry-standard screenplay coverage to screenwriters, production companies, studios, agents, managers, and independent producers on a regular basis.
Our script coverage service includes a full reading of the script by a qualified screenplay reader, who analyzes your script and writes a carefully-constructed coverage.
The benefit to you, as a Screenwriter: With coverage from Screenplay Readers, you have a chance to see what a real script reader thinks of your screenplay PRIOR to you submitting it to an agent, producer, or studio. If that sounds like insight on your script which you can use, check out our services page. If not, thanks for stopping by!

Here's a just a FEW of our recent rave reviews from
our happy customers:
"Thanks so much for the coverage. I've been struggling to figure out what does not feel quite right about the way my screenplay is put together. Excited to redraw this thing with your guys' comments incorporated. They make a ton of sense to me. And not to beat a dead horse or anything, but I have paid people so much more than $59 to review my pages and basically got back formatting corrections and their opinion on how they would make a joke funnier. At this point I would have paid you guys $59 to just not do that. But not only did you not do that. You actually read the script and broke it down and made useful observations about what does and doesn't work and why. Much thanks. Will definitely be back and will definitely recommend."
Ted Hannon, Screenwriter of The Irish Patient, 4/19/2012
"Hi Brian - Thanks a lot for the wonderful coverage. Yes, friends do say that the script is wonderful because they see us slogging it out and all, and hence, never look at it objectively. Which you guys have done, and have given me the right pointers. I think I know where and how to take it from here. Soon, the revised draft shall be ready for your review again."
Sagar Haveli, Screenwriter of A Ben Evans Film 3/26/2012
"Just wanted to let you and your reader know how grateful I'm for the coverage. You guys did an amazing job and I'll be referring you to all my filmmaker friends. Many Thanks."
Guy Birtwhistle, Screenwriter of Demons Love London 2/25/2012
"Brian - Thank you so much to you and your team for the quick return on this script coverage (no kidding, right? less than 24hrs). The analysis is direct, concise, and very helpful!"
Warren Shiller, Screenwriter of Shift 2/1/2012
"Brian: I want to thank BK for the excellent evaluation. I have written five scripts and have had many reviewed. They all cost a lot more than $59 and most were not as specific. I have a romantic comedy that I will be sending you soon! Thanks for a great service!"
Robert Styler, Screenwriter of Walk On Water 2/1/2012
