"Hi Brian. Thanks so much for the spot-on and speedy screenplay coverage! Your recommendations will guide us through our next rewrite."
David Sheppard and Margie Baker, Screenwriters of Hip Flop 6/15/2010

"Brian - I read through the coverage and found it very insightful. You guys did a great job of shedding light on certain aspects of the script. The wheels are turning in my head and I can't wait to take the script to the next level. I will definitely consider using your service in the future and will recommend it to friends. Have a great weekend!"
Rolando Vinas, Screenwriter of Looking For Libra 6/11/2010

"Wow! Great input and perspectives! Thank you (I have lots to think about now) I'll definitely use you guys again! Thanks!"
Kenlon Clark, Screenwriter of Dungeons and Dragnet 6/9/2010

"I wanted to thank you for the fast turnaround and excellent coverage that I got on my script.  Your service is fairly priced and you deliver what you say."
Jim Henry, Screenwriter of The Cool Dark Forever 6/8/2010

"Thanks to EA, PP and CE for their concise comments and suggestions. This will really help me pinpoint the weak and strong points in the script and to know what to do to fix it. Thanks so much!"
Dave Beaty and Bill Davis, Screenwriters of Dancing On The Mother Road 6/7/2010

"Thanks for the excellent report; clear, concise and critically constructive. I'm certain I'll be using Screenplay Readers a lot."
Joseph Williamson, Screenwriter of Eden 6/7/2010

"Just wanted to say thanks for the very quick turnaround.
Please pass along my thanks to TZ for a spot-on analysis."
Bill Stephens, Writer of Non Official Cover 5/27/2010

"Dear Brian - Please thank whoever analyst FK3 is for me; they really made me see things I was oblivious to and which friends either didn't or wouldn't point out in the script. I wish I had submitted this to you when I had the first draft written as opposed to after I took on board notes that made things even more convoluted. These notes really opened my eyes to problems within the script and (I hope) will help me fix them when I pick up the project again. In the meantime I am going to shift gears from writing the script for another project and work up a treatment for it to send you folks to review. If I can nip these problems in the bud I will be able to write a more produce-able piece from the get go. Thank you again!"
Michael Winter, Writer of The Key 5/20/2010

"Nice. A day earlier than expected. I really enjoyed reading the coverage of PP for my script, Dirty Pueblo. It was concise and some of the suggestions were dead on. I look forward to continuing this productive relationship once I work on it. Thank you."
Djon Sende, Writer of Dirty Pueblo 5/11/10

"Hi Brian/Screenplay Readers - Your comments regarding my script were very insightful and helpful! It was very apparent that you read it in it's entirety & I'm very appreciative. I'll get busy on my 'millionth' re-write contrary to your PC-thoughts that it was an early draft - smile! Thank you for your quick turn-around. See you @ the movies!"
Cheryl Mitchell Wade, Screenwriter of At Your Own Risk 5/5/2010

"I just had three readers read my script. Thanks for your help. What a great service you guys provide. I had some really good feed back. All three readers found the same problems. This means they were problems:)!!! Thanks again for your service. I will be using you again for sure!!!!"
Neil Vanscoy, Screenwriter of Soul: Battle in Purgatory 5/3/10

"I've paid three times as much for "name" coverage that wasn't half as legit or useful. Instead of just giving you guys a generic thumbs-up, let me tell you exactly why I consider this coverage excellent:

1. It's obvious from the length and detail of the near-treatment-length synopsis that the analyst actually read the WHOLE script.

2. I can tell where every single problem is, based strictly upon the gap between my intention and the reader's apprehension. Most of the time in my experience, that gap has been the result of a half-ass, income-driven, rushing analyst.

3. There was no evidence of the reader conflating their personal narrative taste, or genre bias, with my supposed lack of craft (e.g., "I hate supernatural thrillers" = "This writer sucks").

4. The reader caught one particular typo that I would have NEVER caught, because actually, it wasn't a typo. It was grammatical ignorance. Which means the reader might be smarter than me. I'm arrogant enough to find that stunning in a reader!

5. The turnaround was super-fast! The reader not only read the script, but typed up a 6-page, no-fluff document about the script, in 2 days. I presume you are aware that the turnaround in your business ranges anywhere from 7 days to 3 weeks.

6. The notes agree with mine; I did my own pseudo-objective coverage to see how my critical impressions matched with others.

7. No snarky, asshole-mogul, Simon-Cowell tone, used as a smoke screen to mask the reader's lack of anything substantive to communicate. I much prefer "The dialogue is unremarkable," to "go learn how to write dialogue." The reader was frank without being insulting.

Honestly, I expected the coverage to be worthless, due to ideas like "you get what you pay for," the lack of name-dropping on your site, and the lack of affiliation with some major screenplay industry brand. I just reasoned, at $60, I'd take the risk. If I got burned I just wouldn't be back. Well, I'll be back. Don't know how long the company will be able to keep costs down, but even if they rise to current market yield, I'll still do business over here."

- Steve Burks, Screenwriter of The Invisible War 4/2/10

"Thank you Brian.  That was fantastic coverage.  All of your notes were spot on.
And thank you for doing it so quickly."
Anthony Lucero, Screenwriter of East Side Sushi 4/3/10

"Thanks for the prompt response. You raise a lot of valid points. Back to the drawing board!"
Michael Milne, Screenwriter of The Loneliest Road 4/1/10

"Brian, thanks so much for the super fast coverage!  You made a lot of great points and echoed some of the concerns we have had about the script.  Thanks again. We will definitely be using your services again."
Jay & Tiffany Donaldson, Screenwriters of Wrecked 3/30/10

"Excellent, LG (reader) . You really took the time to look at it closely. You have given me some ideas for rewriting. I just hope I have the ability to do so effectively. This is my first shot at a script."
Dan Sanders, Screenwriter of Wolf Hunters 3/26/10

"Thank you for providing coverage on my screenplay. I must admit that it was 100% brutally honest like you state. Still, I’m glad I ordered it because I’ve learned from it that my writing isn’t Zeus and knowing where my problems are now, I can fix them."
Maurice Vaughan, Screenwriter of Load 3/20/10

"Thank you so much for reading the screenplay! I am on it like white on rice - doing everything you said. Funny how when I write it, I understand ALL the back story and motivations."
Karen Kevorkian, Screenwriter of Trophy Wife Dot Con 3/11/10

"Thanks for the great coverage! Yep, this poor little script needs a good rewrite, that's for sure. But thanks to the comments, I have already started to scetch out the second draft revisions. once again, thanks for the great work!"
Chris Okey, Screenwriter of Of Heroes and Their Lovers 01/23/10

"Thank you very much for your feedback. It arrived promptly (within 48 hours) and demonstrated a thorough understanding of the script that I wrote. Your comments are helpful. I had some of the same concerns as the ones you mentioned, only I wasn't sure to what degree or even if they were a problem. You clarified my thinking on these. In short, I highly recommend your service and I would use it again. You have helped to make my script better."
Scott McKinstry, Screenwriter of Friended 01/18/10

"First, I can't believe the quick turn-around. But more importantly, a superb quality assessment. Job well done. Logline and synopsis were spot on. Thanks again for your great service."
Bill Morales, Screenwriter of Elena's Fire 12/17/09

"Thank you so much for the quick turnaround time!  Even though I received a pass (ughhh) I was actually pleased with what the reader touched upon. Every place I had questioned myself was brought to light. I started re working the script ten minutes after reading the comments.  I have to say that I have never felt more encouraged because the feedback was extremely positive and upbeat. Thanks to (reader) EW.   I will be resubmitting the corrections as soon as I have worked this all out."
Tracey Noonan, Screenwriter of LT 12/5/09

"Thanks once again for your great coverage of my recently submitted script, The Rendering.  Simply put - you guys provide an incredible service!  I submitted the first script I wrote to your site earlier this year for coverage.  The coverage and hard hitting, honest comments I received from Screenplay Readers were 'dead on' and provided me what was needed to conduct rewrites that strengthened the work such that the script finished in the top 20 of over 2,000 script submissions in the 2009 Screen Writing Expo script writing contest. I am a believer. I am now a loyal customer of Screenplay Readers.  I look forward to your continued professionalism, affordable and expedient turnaround as I continue to pursue my screen writing career."
Terrence "Ty" Manns, Screenwriter of The Rendering 12/1/09

BUT DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT! Go type any of these screenwriters into Google. They're all real, actual writers who've used Screenplay Readers. Ask them directly what they thought of our service!

"It was worth the wait. I am as happy as a pig in mud with my "Consider" and will make changes accordingly. I will definitely use you guys again!"
Jotham Kingston, Screenwriter of The Engine 11/30/09

"Thanks very much. This was just what we needed. Many thanks for your speedy turnaround."
Soraya Chemaly, Screenwriter of Fake Momma 11/8/09

"Thanks Brian. The coverage was great! The notes were exceptional. The reader gave me a lot of ideas (and suggestions) of the changes I need to make. Feedback is sometimes tough to swallow, but the key is to sift through it and know how to make the script better.  I've used about 6 different coverage services, and you guys, by far, have the best notes I have received. Between the cost, and turnaround time, and the quality of thought put into the notes, it makes me look at the story differently so I know what direction to head into. You definitely have my business after my rewrites are done!"
Tim Earnheart, Screenwriter of The Exec 10/22/09

"Thank you for the prompt response, and the coverage as well. It is good to know issues that I need to work on. I appreciate your service and honesty."
Eric Hammeren, Screenwriter of Clone 10/19/09

"Thanks for your speedy and thorough reader's report. It hits all the major points that need to be addressed. I would recommend your services and will probably use them again myself."
Phil Travis, Screenwriter of Hank 10/9/09

"I was very satisfied with your service, the turnaround and ease of use, and I would use it again."
Richard Turgeon, Screenwriter of Wunderkinds 9/20/09

"Thanks again for your incredibly in depth, fast, and painfully truthful service. I will take all the advice your reader has given me and integrate it into my script, and send it back to you when I feel masochistic again."
Barry Haims, Screenwriter of Enter 9/19/09

"Hi Brian. I just wanted to say thanks very much for this service... I was really pleased with the feedback, this is the first time I used a reader service and was thinking of not pursuing writing, but with the honest critique and positive comments, its really given me a boost, (the reader) eally understood what I was trying to show with symbolism character and dialogue. I’ve been on a high all day."
- Dom Farelli, Screenwriter of Quarter Life Crisis 8/13/2009

"Just a quick hello and say Thank You to your team of script coverage people...both did a very good and thorough job on covering our script. They both had very good comments and suggestions for our Screenplay."
Marco Kujovic, Screenwriter of Maybe This Time, I'll Win 8/4/2009

"Dear Brian, I've just received your coverage for my screenplay and was just writing to let you know how impressed I was with your service. The comments provided gave an excellent insight to the weak areas of my script and were so constructive that I don't think I've ever been so happy to receive a pass on my script! Needless to say I will be recommending your service and look forward to dealing with you again. Thanks, Shane"
Shane O'Sullivan, Screenwriter of Emily 7/24/2009

"What wonderful coverage!  Thanks so much for the time you and your team put into evaluating the script.  I will begin a second draft right away."
T. Kendall, Screenwriter of Georgia Skies 7/22/2009

"Dear Brian - Thanks for your no-holds-barred coverage of my script, The DeMille Conspiracy. I appreciate the brutal honesty and on point analysis, particularly in regard to character development and throughline. Your reader's critique helped me to take a fresh look at the script with an eye toward strengthening the entire story. I am now sending you my next script, The Smiley Face Killers and looking forward to your prompt and detailed service."
R. Hammond, Screenwriter of The DeMille Conspiracy 7/16/2009

"Brian - Got the coverage I ordered today. Thanks so much!  You really deliver a TON for your cost - it's almost ridiculous.  My first gig in the business was working as a reader years ago and my rate was a penny more than what you're charging! At any rate, I really can't thank you and your reader enough for the fine work.  The coverage was informative in both the synopsis (it's always interesting to see what comes across as important) and in the notes (the criticisms in which are all well-founded and helpful).  Please pass along my gratitude."
- Alex Greenfield, Screenwriter of The Seven Wonders of A. Henry Cohen 7/15/2009

"Very constructive critique that I can pull from for the re-write... Ultimately I am happy with the service and will use you again!"
W. Jordan, Screenwriter of A Rose Given 7/12/2009

"Thank you, Brian. Great insights that I had (obviously) overlooked. You've given me clarity in how to approach the next draft. I will use your service again when my latest work-in-progress is completed. Great value and worth the extra wait."
Tracy S. Williams, Screenwriter of The Hole

"Thanks very much for the great writeup on my screenplay. As a screenwriter, it's so hard to find people to review my screenplays that actually 'Get it' and can provide constructive criticism. Thanks again for all of your help."
Jackie L. Young, Screenwriter of Southern Fried Yankees

"Thanks so much Brian. This is the first time we've used your service... and the coverage is really great - exceptionally well thought out and detailed; I am sure that Carl will appreciate it. Thanks again."
Amelie de Richemont, for Carl Van Dekker, Screenwriter of Under the Fence

"Your coverage and comments were very insightful and truly helpful. Thank you!"
Adolphus Thomas, Screenwriter of Magic City

Jake Craney, Screenwriter of Zenna

"Very insightful and helpful notes! Thanks so much, Brian!"
David Alvarez, Screenwriter of The Lives of Riley

"Thank you very much for your coverage.  Without the first go around the script wouldn't be what it is today.  You guys are awesome."
J. Valentine, Screenwriter of The Age of Reason

"Thank you for your coverage of The Blues.  I was impressed by your insights and agree with the changes and additions that need to be made."
David McPete, Screenwriter of The Blues

"Thanks so much for an excellent coverage, I fully support what you have said here, being too close means you tend to brush over this stuff.  You have nailed where it works and where it goes wrong  and given me a lot of work which is why I sent it in the first place.  Nice one."
Kyle Portbury, Screenwriter of On The Right Hand

"Thanks for the coverage. They are useful. Some surprises, and much food for thought!"
J. Bassat, Screenwriter of Somersaulting Over New York
