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.

We ask that our reader applicants have 10 years’ experience reading and analyzing screenplays. Apologies if that seems like a lot, but we’re ridiculously selective about who we entrust with our clients’ 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: brian+jobs@screenplayreaders.com

Before submitting, please know that if hired, you’ll be asked to be available for a bare minimum of one script assignment 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) A CV demonstrating a long history of script analysis and working within the film industry.

2) 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 and tv industry and are capable of intelligently and realistically assessing a screenplay’s potential in said industry.

3) Proof that you are able to compose story and script analysis that is as objective as possible, unimpeachably cogent, creatively constructive, and authoritative.

4) Proof that your English language skills are absolutely impeccable and that you don’t use LLMs (aka “A.I.”) to generate your cover letter or sample coverage.
