Improve your script before you send it out
The original and best script coverage service in the film industry
Since 1999 (over 27 years) we’ve helped tighten up over 55,000 screenplays for screenwriters, studios, and producers with our script coverage.
When you order our script coverage service:
You get an experienced professional human script reader who reads your script
Our script readers are screenwriters, authors, and script development experts with at least 15 years experience who actually care about helping you make your screenplay be the best it can be.
You get Script Notes
Several pages of detailed, honest analysis on what’s working about your screenplay, and what’s not, and we recommend specific things to tweak right now that will make it more appealing to agents, producers, name talent, and all the gatekeepers and script readers in between.
You get Follow-up Questions with your reader(s)
Feel free to ask your script readers questions about their notes after you receive your script coverage.
You get a Logline for your Screenplay
Your screenplay summed up in one or two sentences. Great to have when pitching your script.
You get a Synopsis of your Screenplay
Your screenplay boiled down to about a page or so, allowing you to see the major beats of your story from a stranger’s point of view.
You get a Screenplay Scoresheet
A score assigned to 22 key screenwriting categories, such as character, dialogue, plot, theme, and more. Good for tracking your progress across drafts.
You get a PASS, CONSIDER, or RECOMMEND
This gives you an idea of how a screenplay reader at a studio or agency might react. Like the rest of your screenplay coverage, this is only seen by you.
You get a Bechdel Test Score & a Diversity Score
The Bechdel Score is a rough measure of your screenplay’s female representation. The Diversity Score is how well your screenplay incorporates characters from a variety of life experiences.

Why choose Screenplay Readers for script coverage service?
Our script coverage service gives you specific easy-to-follow tweaks that will improve your script. Other services provide vague screenwriting advice and self-help hooey.
We actually show you who’s reading your screenplay (names, bios, and pics here). Other services don’t.
We keep it simple, as we have for nearly three decades. We give you feedback on your script. That’s it. Other services sell you promises of “Hollywood access” and offer to “map your career journey” and other poppycock.
We pay our script readers the highest rates in the industry because their skills and experience far exceed those of the interns and newbies working for other services. (No offense, interns and newbies.)
We don’t feed your screenplay into an A.I. like many services do now. It’s humans first and humans only here at Screenplay Readers. (And death to our robot overlords!)
We keep your screenplay, your ideas, and your order data 100% private and secure. (Can I get a 256-bit AES-encrypted amen?)
