Script Reader Jobs

Script reader jobs open up from time to time here at Screenplay Readers, as we occasionally add new script analysts to our team.

Respectfully, we do not work with interns or entry-level analysts. We ask that our reader applicants have 10 years’ experience reading and analyzing screenplays. We apologize if that seems extreme but we’re extremely selective about who we entrust with our clients’ data and literary material.

To be considered, please email two samples of your previous coverage / script notes / screenplay development work and your current résumé or CV to: jobs@REMOVE THIS TEXT admin.screenplayreaders.com

Before submitting, please know that you’ll be asked to be available for a bare minimum of one script per week and be willing to blend your writing style and voice with our rigorous standards.

What we’re looking for in the materials you submit:

1) Proof that you’re a critical thinker who understands not only the creative art of screenwriting and filmmaking, but the mechanics of a screenplay (dialogue, conflict, plot, pacing, character, etc.), as well as script formatting (punctuation, spelling, grammar, etc.).

2) Proof that you understand the film industry enough to be able to strategically assess a spec script’s chances and/or where/how/if it may fit into the current market.

3) Proof that you are able to compose story and script analysis that is objective, constructive, and nuanced.

4) Proof that your English language skills are absolutely impeccable and that you don’t lean on AI tools to generate your cover letter or sample coverage.
