ScriptGuy Services:
No added bells and whistles. Just expert script analysis and story notes. If you need help with your logline, formatting or basic presentation, I’ll let you know anyway without tacking on greedy fees. And if I give your script a “recommend”, I’ll pass it on to
industry contacts free of charge, if you wish. |

COVERAGE |
|
| |
Industry standard “coverage” of your script. The same kind of objective critique that agents, producers and studio executives refer to before deciding whether to actually read your screenplay. This is typically your script's one shot at getting through the door to decision makers. Coverage gives you an accurate appraisal of how your script will “read” to industry professionals. It also provides insight into your script’s strengths and weaknesses and suggests possible fixes. Includes: a details page where I “grade” your premise, characters, plotting and structure, dialogue and the script’s overall potential; a one-page synopsis of your story to illustrate which story elements come across to the reader, and which do not; and a two-page analysis of the script’s premise, storyline, characters and dialogue, including suggestions for improvement. In standard coverage, the synopsis is two pages to the comments’ one. I reverse this because you already know what you wrote and two pages of comments is twice as helpful. (4 pages) |

STORY NOTES |
|
| |
A detailed, in-depth analysis of your entire script that pinpoints the story you were trying to tell and then helps you tell it. These are not "page notes", which usually amount to on-the-fly comments that never address the totality of a script. I provide comprehensive analysis of every element of your screenplay: the clarity and freshness of the premise; the narrative logic, emotional impact, dramatic drive and structure of your storyline; the motivations and dimensionality of your characters and the strength of their arcs; the wit, economy, humor and power of your dialogue; the rhythm, pace and tone of the script and your specific "voice" or writing style. Most importantly, I redirect you toward the ideal story you were after in the first place by providing narrative ideas and strategies that spring from your script, not from my "take" on your premise. My notes typically run 6 to 8 pages in length, but are often longer depending upon the needs of the individual script. I know I'm done when I stop writing. (6 to 8 pages) |

If I’ve read an earlier draft, I offer discount coverage on your rewrite. A details page and two pages of comments. No synopsis, but the comments cover the rewrite’s key changes and discuss how they affect, for better or worse, the overall story. (3 pages) |

*I don’t offer one-on-one consultations in person or over the phone because, frankly, I’m not nearly as objective when I hear a fellow writer’s hopeful voice. I’m far more honest on the page, which is what you really need. |

THE PLAN |
|
| |
Using the PayPal buttons, add the script service you need to your shopping cart and “check out”. Once PayPal sends you your receipt, simply e-mail your screenplay and release form (below) to Leo@ScriptGuy.com. You can send your script as either a pdf, Microsoft Word or Final Draft file. I’ll reply by e-mail when I’ve received your payment, the release form and your baby…and then the fun begins.
On average, I will e-mail back your script notes 5 to 7 business days after I’ve received your script. If I am really swamped it might take slightly longer, but I will notify you in advance. Coverage is often returned much sooner.
Feel free to e-mail me with any questions, constructive comments, or glowing feedback you may have. My inbox is always open!
And keep writing… Leo O’Sullivan
