What you get when you order our script coverage service:
Script Notes
Detailed, honest critique on what’s working and what’s not in your script, as well as a few creative suggestions for fixes.
Follow-up Questions with your reader(s)
Feel free to ask your readers questions about their notes after you receive your script coverage.
Logline
Your screenplay summed up in one or two sentences. Great for pitching or marketing.
Category Scoresheet
Your script’s score in 22 key categories, such as character, dialogue, plot, theme, and more. Awesome for tracking your progress across drafts.
Synopsis
Your story summarized down to about a page. Good to have because if a script reader misses an important beat, it’s likely that an agent or producer will too. Also good for pitching.
Recommendation
PASS, CONSIDER, or RECOMMEND. This is meant to give you an idea of how a reader at a studio or agency might react. This, like the rest of your coverage, is only seen by you.
Bechdel Score and Diversity score
Bechdel Score is a gauge of your script’s female representation. Diversity Score is how well your script incorporates characters from different backgrounds, perspectives, and life experiences.

Why choose us for script coverage?
1) Our script coverage provides specific actions to take on your next draft. Our imitators provide mostly general screenwriting advice and motivational nonsense.
2) We tell you who’s reading your script (names, bios, and pics here), unlike nearly all other services, where the readers are anonymous.
3) We keep it simple, as we have for over 26 years. We don’t do contests or webinars or promise “access to Hollywood” like other services do.
4) We pay our script readers the highest rate in the industry. Why? Because they’re the best in the industry.
5) We don’t use AI for anything, unlike many other services. Ick.
6) We keep your screenplay and your order details 100% private and secure. Other companies? Good luck!
