THE
SCREENPLAY ANALYSIS SERVICE (SAS):
The
Writers Literary Screenplay Analysis Service (SAS) offers more than an
evaluation it offers a collaboration.
As every professional screenwriter knows, writing is rewriting.
The process of reworking a story over and over is crucial to
success and is what makes a good story great.
That requires getting honest, constructive feedback from others.
Finding the right feedback can be the hardest part of this
process. This is what our
Screenplay Analysis Service is all about:
assessment –
development – collaboration.
This
form of collaborative analysis is essential in taking your script to the
next level. Compare this to
script services that offer only “coverage.”
Studio coverage focus on obvious narrative flaws and the commercial
viability of a script. They
never look deeper at the potential of the script.
Collaborative analysis, however, digs down to examine what’s
working and what’s not. We
take you to the next step of development, just as in the studio
development of a screenplay, except that you the writer are not
collaborating with indifferent executives – but with skilled, caring
fellow writers.
As
your partners, our Writers Literary staff explores all areas of your
script: narrative strengths
and weaknesses (structure, characters, dialogue, writing style), raising
story concerns, focusing on strategies and presenting new ideas to address
your rewrite. We offer products to fit every budget.
Entry
Level: The Initial Critique
The
Initial Critique is an overall assessment.
It provides beginning guidelines on the creative and marketing
quality of your script, as well as brief suggestions on how to improve it.
This Critique is comparable to studio coverage but offers more
constructive feedback to help you move on to your next phase of script
development: the rewrite.
This
service includes a general assessment of your:
- Current
Title

Logline/Synopsis

Script Length

and Recommended Improvements
Intermediate Level: The Screenplay Analysis
The
Screenplay Analysis is a more detailed review.
It is designed to analyze all the basic elements and structure of
your script, from plot to characters to dialogue, that comprise a quality
screenplay. You will receive
a written commentary with comprehensive notesthat counsel you on more
specific ways to improve your work and your skills.
This
service includes a more in-depth, detailed analysis of your:
- Screenplay
Title
- Opening
Scenes
- Script
Setting and Tone
- Visual
Elements
- Dialogue
- Characters
- Plot
and Structure
- Conclusion
and Final Comments
At
this stage of our collaboration, you can now decide whether you wish to
make changes to your script on your own, or whether you would like to seek
further assistance and work directly and more intensively with an industry
professional.
Advanced
Level: The Script
Consultation
The
Script Consultation is a process of full-on editing that drills down to
the deeper levels of your script. For
this service, you are buying the talent, time and full attention of one of
our staff of Senior and Advanced script doctors, all Writers Guild
professionals with film and/or television credits.
Your assigned editor will go through your script scene by scene,
character by character, providing you with collaborative insights and
creative coaching.
This
service includes intensive written notes and suggestions tailored to your
individual needs. There is no
specific format, only what is mutually agreed upon between you and your
script editor at your personal discretion.
For example, you may request detailed comments to be inserted
directly into your script, followed by a one-on-one phone conversation or
email exchange with your editor within an arranged time frame.
Our
staff of experienced pros follows the credo of Positive Feedback.
Their quest is to guarantee an intelligent, thorough and
sympathetic grasp of the author’s intent. And their goal is to
precisely identify what a writer has done right and/or wrong, offer
suggestions to fix problems, strengthen the overall results and make your
script as close to marketable as possible.
Whether you’re a first-time novice or a seasoned veteran, we want
to make your script sellable – to empower you as the writer.
