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 ourservices page. If not, thanks for stopping by!

Here's a just a FEW of our recent rave reviews from
our happy customers:
"Hi Brian - Thank you very much for providing this coverage, it's very thoughtful and extremely useful to myself and the writer at this stage in the process. Your reader quickly identified the themes we are aiming to explore in the piece and also highlighted the key narrative issues as well as suggesting areas of unexplored potential. All great! The cost effectiveness and speed of your service makes it extremely useful and I look forward to sending other scripts to you for coverage. All the best."
Dean Francis, Screenwriter of In The Blood 12/9/2011
"Your feedback not only highlighted key issues that needed to be fixed, but also helped me understand WHY they needed to be fixed and HOW I could fix them, thus empowering me to bring my script to the next level. Thanks so much and really looking forward to sending you more stuff in the future (which I will, no bullsh*t). You guys are really great, I got my money's worth in a timely and professional manner...and then some."
Radu Huciu, Screenwriter of of Borderland 12/3/11
"Although I was disappointed with the pass rating, the reader gave me some notes to help me make my screenplay better. I have some thinking to do about how to go about the changes. Overall, I think he may have liked my screenplay. He liked my tease, my characters and some of the scenes. I was impressed in how quickly I received my coverage. I was expecting it around Friday, but received it on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm extremely impressed and I will come back to you for my future coverage needs. Thank you, you guys rock!"
Ronald Boyd, Screenwriter of Project Omega 12/2/11
"Brian - These are some excellent notes. They zeroed in on some structural and tonal issues that I already knew/suspected were a problem, and identified a few specific things that I need to clarify/eliminate. Plus, it's always great to get totally objective feedback, e.g., reader TZ saying Stan acts and talks like a mobster -- I would never have thought someone could see him that way, because I always thought of him as kind of a teddy bear at heart and always pictured the ultra-likeable Tom Hanks in the role, but I guess if you just go by what's on the page, and you maybe think of James Gandolfini, I can now totally see how he might seem gangster-like. As I said, I would never have seen that on my own. This is really good stuff. I'm pleased. I can hardly wait to get started on the rewrite."
