My Script Needs Help! offers the following services: Coverage, Analysis, Repair, Story Development, and Ghostwriting. We provide these services on most material, from treatments & screenplays to manuscripts. Although our primary focus is feature films, and supporting those who want their material reviewed, polished, or rewritten from a film perspective, the team is available to support those who need help with improving TV scripts, stage plays, short stories, or novels.

Our consultant team is made up of talented entertainment industry professionals, who have worked at major studios and production companies, providing the same services they want to provide everyone at consumer level pricing. Who better to give professional critiques on what the industry players will want to buy, than those who have worked for them and know exactly what they want.

We remain unmatched in our range of services, quality, price, turnaround, commitment, and customer bonuses. Why settle for less than everything that one company can provide?

BONUS 1: With the writer's permission, we will email "Recommend" coverage reports to our distribution list of interested buyers, which give writers access to agents, managers, and producers who can further their careers. No strings attached. There are no upfront or backend costs/fees/commissions for this bonus option.

SERVICES

Coverage - $75
Customers receive a 2-3 page entertainment industry standard report ("coverage") that breaks down the material into feature film or television marketability components. Studio executives and producers look at these reports when deciding which projects should be developed further and eventually "greenlit." Writers should use the reports to: 1) submit along with their query letters to potential buyers if they receive a "Recommend" or even a "Consider" stamp of approval, and 2) to uncover their material's strengths and weaknesses, so that any areas for improvement can be addressed before submitting the material to potential buyers. A sample coverage template is available for you to see how a report will be organized and what components are evaluated. Those key components are detailed below.

Customers can also receive, along with a coverage report, their material returned with the evaluator's handwritten notes on it (referred to as "Coverage with Margin Notes" for $125).

Analysis - $150
Customers receive a 6-8 page detailed critique of their material (or a coverage report PLUS). It has the same key components of a coverage report (and then some), but the material is analyzed in greater detail to flesh out areas of improvement. Where a coverage report gives an overview of what works and what doesn't in the material, an analysis report gives more insight into how to make the material better, more marketable (if it is possible). A sample analysis report template is available, and the key components that comprise the report are detailed below.

Customers can also receive their material back with the evaluator's handwritten notes on the script (referred to as "Analysis with Margin Notes" for $200).

NOTE: All evaluations are based upon the material's ability to become a feature film or television show. Coverage and analysis reports are not available to evaluate a material's merit only as a stage play, short story, or novel.

Repair - $250 to start
Customers have access to a talented crew of writers who can tweak material for dialogue and/or narrative improvements (polish), or have their material typed and formatted into proper screenplay, teleplay, stage play, or manuscript format. Polishes do not include adding or deleting scenes or characters, plot changes, or fixing structural issues; it is only to "punch up" what is already on the page. Making the narrative or dialogue sharper in its delivery is the primary focus. Polishes also include fixing spelling, punctuation, grammatical, and formatting errors. If customers only want the spelling, punctuation, grammatical, and formatting errors corrected, then they have a choice of whether or not the team analyst/writer corrects the errors on the soft copy of the material (original electronic file) or on the hard copy (red ink notes).

Ghost Writing - $50 to start
Our team is available to write marketable loglines (1-2 sentences), synopses (3 paragraphs), outlines, and treatments (3-5pp) as part of our advanced services. Customers can also receive rewrites, adaptations, and initial manuscript drafts from treatments, notes, or outlines. Services include receiving both a hard and soft copy of the completed material (in Final Draft, Movie Magic Screenwriter, or MS Word/Rich Text format). Service fees for these services are well below Writer's Guild of America (WGA) minimum rates to provide affordable options for everyone. Depending upon the service option requested and the turnaround time desired, customers have the option of selecting their team member from a narrowed pool of resumes [names removed for privacy].

Service requests that warrant receiving a soft copy of the completed material must include a soft copy of the original material with the order (with the exception of adaptations to film screenplays). The services above do not include typesetting, unless that service is requested & paid for with the advanced service. For example, requests for a script to be rewritten or polished must include an electronic file of that script with the order. Otherwise, material submitted by mail can only be serviced as follows: coverage; analysis; spelling, punctuation, and formatting error correction (red ink); writing loglines, synopses, treatments, and outlines.

Typesetting services are available for $3/page (all words will be typed as legibly as they appear on the page).
