The Deep-Dive Development Notes process:
Step 1) You order service and send us your script
After checkout, you’ll upload your screenplay and select which reader you’d like to request (included free with Deep Dive Development Notes only). If your reader is not available for some reason, we let you select another OR assign it to the first available reader OR refund your order entirely.
Step 2) We read it and write 10+ pages of notes
Our reader goes into granular detail when composing your development notes, from big-picture stuff to little tweaks and suggestions you might not have thought of, all of which could add up to you being the proud writer of much stronger screenplay.
Step 3) You ask your reader questions
We deliver your notes and you can use them for your polish or rewrite. Use some of our suggestions, or all, or none — it’s up to you! And be sure to send in any follow-up questions you have for your reader!

What is the turnaround time for Deep-Dive Development Notes?
Approximately 5 business days.
How much does it cost?
$397 is the base rate for all scripts up to 120 pages. If your script is longer than 120 pages, you’ll need to include the Over 120 Add-on here.
How does it compare to your Script Coverage Service?
The biggest differences between our Deep-Dive Development Notes are the length and depth of the feedback and analysis you’ll receive (script coverage is typically 3-5 pages of notes vs. development notes which have 10+ pages of notes), and the fact that the Deep-Dive Development Notes do not include a synopsis, as most clients prefer 100% notes.
I’m new to all this. Which service should I order?
If you’ve never received feedback on your screenplay at all, we always advise folks to get as much free feedback as possible from fellow writers and writers groups. If you’ve never ordered paid coverage or notes before, you might want to start with our Script Coverage Service first. The notes and detail you get from our Deep-Dive Development Notes are geared toward more advanced writers who want to get their script in tip-top shape as quickly as possible.
