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 50,000 screenplays for screenwriters, studios, and producers with our script coverage.
When you order our script coverage service:
You get an experienced professional script reader who reads your script
Our script readers are screenwriters, authors, and script development experts with at least 10 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. Plus, we recommend to you specific things to tweak so you can make it more appealing to managers, agents, producers, and name talent.
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 script reader’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 “final grade” gives you an idea of how a screenplay reader at a studio or agency might react. This, like the rest of your screenplay coverage, is only seen by you.
You get a Bechdel Test Score & a Diversity Score
The Bechdel Score is a gauge of your screenplay’s female representation. The Diversity Score is how well your screenplay incorporates characters from different backgrounds and perspectives.

Why choose Screenplay Readers for script coverage service?
Our script coverage service suggests specific tweaks to improve your script. Other script coverage services just dole out general screenwriting advice and motivational hooey.
We tell you who’s reading your screenplay (names, bios, and pics here), unlike most other script coverage services who hide them from you (Spoiler Alert: because they don’t want you to know they’re interns).
We keep it simple, as we have for nearly three decades. We don’t bait you into worthless script contests or dangle promises of “Hollywood access” or any of that other claptrap.
We pay our script readers the highest rate in the industry in order to keep the best script readers in the industry on our team. (Just kinda makes sense, no?)
We don’t use A.I. to read your script or compose your script coverage. Humans only. (And death to our robot overlords!)
We keep your screenplay, your ideas, and your data 100% private and secure, unlike many other services.
