FEATURE-LENGTH SCRIPT ANALYSIS AND CONSULTING. $250
Your feature-length screenplay or TV Pilot will get specific, objective, in-depth analysis as follows:
- Two screenplay readings. The first, with no notes. Reading the script as a read. The second read, line by line over your screenplay. (The line notes are yours, no extra charge.)
- Three hour one-on-one telephone conference call.
- Comprehensive analysis of your script, examination/analysis of the basics; grammatical errors/typos, format issues.
- Comprehensive analysis of more advanced issues:, Plot and subplots, characters, dialogue, subtext, structure, tone, style, theme, plausibility, marketability.
- Discounted follow-up readings are available.
Scripts will be personally read by me twice, line-by-line notes made, the script and notes emailed/mailed back to you, followed by a three-hour personal conference call to discuss your script and my notes, page-by-page.
FIRST 15-PAGES ANALYSIS: $49

PROOFING: $150
Get your script up to industry standards with a grammar polish that cleans up any formatting/grammatical errors.

CONSULTANCY WITHOUT HYPOCRISY
First, what I am not:
- I am not an agent, a manager, or a packager of bullshit.
- I don’t run a screenplay contest or want your script with a 50-dollar entry check.
- I don’t travel around the country doing hit-and-run weekend seminars, professing to fundamentally help people in four hours of a weekend.
- I will not be passing your script on to—or making claims to pass your script on to—industry professionals.
- I will not post your script on my blog, give ratings or promise you industry pros will ask to read it because of my recommendation.
Here is what I am, and what I offer at Script Gods Must Die:
- I am a working screenwriter with multiple IMDB writing credits. We just wrapped Dirty Little Secrets, an Indie film shot here in Chicago. I have optioned six screenplays. I have been represented by William Morris Endeavor and Writers & Artists. My scripts have placed in the semifinals at both the Nicholl Fellowship and Slamdance. Four of my plays have been nominated or won Joseph Jefferson awards, and have been been published with Dramatic Publishing Company. 25 productions of my scripts have been performed in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
- I am a professional screenplay consultant and teacher. Teaching basic and advanced screenwriting at Columbia College for eight years now, I have professionally critiqued thousands of screenplays.
- I, personally, will read your script. That’s a Script Gods Must Die promise. I will give you the best line by line breakdown of your script I can possibly give. Let me repeat: I, personally, will read your script and give you comprehensive analysis.
- When I say “comprehensive analysis,” I mean it. We will need every minute of our three-hour phone consultation to go over my line-by-line, page-by-page notes. If you’re not interested in being challenged, you’ve got the wrong consultant.
- With an eye toward selling your script, if you haven’t thought out a marketing plan, I will help with your plan for no extra charge.
- Follow-up consultations will be available.
