WHO WE ARE

The Hollywood Scriptworks staff consists of a group of experienced executives, agents, and managers currently working in the film industry. Their expertise is uniquely valuable because it goes beyond the academic; they focus not just on what makes a script read well from a craft perspective, but also explore what factors contribute to a script selling or not in the current marketplace.

TESTIMONIALS

"Thank you so much. Your suggestions on 'Good Luck Chuck,' particularly on ways to pump up the comedy and address the third act issues, were enormously helpful."
-- Josh Stolberg, Writer, "Good Luck Chuck" -- Sold to New Line Cinema, June 2004

"Thanks for the quick turnaround time and for the exceptional thoroughness of your notes. Thoughtful, practical, and well-worth the investment."
-- David Klawans, Producer, "Atomic Twister"

"I can honestly say that I was extremely happy with the service Hollywood Scriptworks provided me. I knew my treatment needed some work and I wanted a professional analysis done so I could bring it to the next level. What I received was incredibly thorough, insightful, and most of all, encouraging! My treatment was only five pages long and yet they understood my characters and storyline in a way that it seemed they had been with me all along."
-- Gustavo Sampaio, Producer, "Spirit Goal"

SERVICES

Hollywood Scriptworks offers comprehensive analytical notes (4 to 7 pages, single-spaced) including assessment of a script's premise, character development, story structure, dialog, action description, exposition, pacing, authenticity, market positioning, and presentation. We'll also identify any "no-no's" that might result in your script being set aside after only a few pages by a busy Hollywood executive.

This is not traditional coverage, but a much more detailed level of assessment designed not simply to give a writer some sense of how his or her script might fare in the marketplace as is; instead, it's tailored toward helping a writer improve their craft, their script, and their chances of selling it.

In addition, we provide discounted follow-up analysis on any script rewritten pursuant to our notes, and in-depth analysis of treatments as well.

We also offer one-on-one phone consultations for discussions on all topics in the film industry. Whether you'd like to discuss strategies for getting an agent or manager, the marketability of your new idea, or anything in between, we've got an analyst with experience in your area of interest.

Turnaround time on written analysis may vary, but we are generally able to return notes to a writer within 10 to 14 days of receiving their work. Expedited services are also available.

Sign-up and submission of your work may be done via mail or entirely over the web. Our secure server protects your personal information, and we never share your work or your info with anyone outside our staff. Rates for services range from $95 for a phone consultation up to $395 for a full written script analysis.
