Before you submit your script,
find out how industry professionals will respond…

Five years ago, we started offering Judge’s Feedback to writers who entered the PAGE Awards competition. We wanted to give our contestants the opportunity to see exactly how our Judges respond to their scripts. Over the past few years this service has become extremely popular, and we’ve received many messages from writers telling us how much they’ve appreciated the notes and how helpful the Judges’ comments have been. Therefore, we began offering this service during the summer and fall months, as well.

Our goal is to help you develop and promote your script, and to provide you with notes and marketing materials that are constructive, effective, and will truly help advance your career.

OUR JUDGES

There are many people in Hollywood and elsewhere who offer their services as script consultants, and most will charge you anywhere from $250 to $750 (or more!) for their notes. Some of these individuals are extremely helpful to aspiring screenwriters, but many are not, and it’s virtually impossible to know whose comments will be useful to you until you actually receive them. It’s an expensive gamble.

The Judges for the PAGE Awards are all professional script readers and development executives. Among them, their credits include most of the major studios, networks, production companies, agencies and management firms here in Hollywood, including Universal Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Brothers, Disney, CBS, NBC, ICM and CAA.

These are the industry gatekeepers. They read and review hundreds of new scripts every year, and within their individual companies they have the power to advance your script to the next level – or send it to the recycling bin with their thumbs down.

And now, they’ve agreed to go to work for you!

OUR SERVICES

We’ve kept the cost of our services extremely affordable, so now, for less than the price of most individual script consultants, you can receive input and ideas from up to three different industry professionals. And if you want more than one Judge to review your script, you’ll automatically receive a $10 discount off each additional set of notes or marketing materials.

Following are descriptions of the services we offer:

JUDGE’S FEEDBACK $85
The same great Feedback we offer in conjunction with the contest. Your Judge will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your script, explain how he or she would score your script if you submitted it to the contest, tell you whether your script would receive a Recommend, Consider or Pass if you submitted it to his or her agency or production company, and offer suggestions and ideas designed to help you further develop the material. (4-5 pages)

IN-DEPTH SCRIPT ANALYSIS $145
A comprehensive assessment of your screenplay. Your Judge will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your script, provide you with detailed examples and page notes, and offer suggestions and ideas designed to help you further develop the material. In-Depth Analysis is designed for writers who have received Judge’s Feedback in the past and who now wish to receive additional notes from that same Judge, and for writers looking for professional help with their rewrite. (8-10 pages)

CONCEPT EVALUATION: $55
Notes on your treatment, outline, or story idea. (This service is not for completed screenplays.) Your Judge will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your concept, evaluate your treatment or outline, offer suggestions and ideas on how best to develop the material, and evaluate the script’s ultimate marketing potential. Concept Evaluation is designed to help you discover any potential pitfalls and resolve problems before you sit down to write your script. (2-3 pages)

MARKETING PACKAGE: $125
One of our industry experts will read your screenplay, evaluate it from a marketing perspective, then create the following items just for you: three optional loglines, a customized query letter, and a compelling one-page sales summary (one-sheet). In addition, this industry pro will give you some insights into who’s currently looking for material like yours, discuss the potential market for your movie, explain any special challenges you may face as you attempt to sell your script, and offer you some ideas on how best to position your material and where you might want to submit it.

MARKETING PACKAGE & SYNOPSIS: $175
With this package, in addition to the insider information, loglines, query letter and one-sheet, you’ll receive a detailed synopsis of your script (2-3 pages). This is the same type of synopsis that professional script readers generate when they write coverage for agencies and production companies. You may need a synopsis like this for certain marketing purposes (for example, if you want to promote your script on a website or if you are planning to raise funds to produce your film yourself).

PLEASE NOTE: The purpose of our Marketing Packages is to help you create the professional materials you need to promote your script. We do not send out e-queries, post your script information online or solicit interest in your material for you. There are several great websites that do offer these services, including our co-sponsors InkTip, TV Film Rights, TV Writers Vault, and SellaScript.com. If you’d like to promote your script online, send out an e-query blast, or gain access to lists of agents and producers who are looking for new material, we highly recommend those fine websites to you.

HOW IT WORKS

When you fill out the submission form, you’ll have the opportunity to choose the service you want, along with the number of Judges. Our Judges each work independently, and they will not see each other’s comments or exchange ideas about your script. They will each evaluate your material from their own unique perspective. So if you request notes from more than one Judge, you can compare their different perspectives and determine which comments and ideas are useful to you and which are not.

You’ll also have the opportunity to tell us if you have any special requests. If you’ve received notes from one of our Judges in the past and you’d like that same Judge to review your latest work, please let us know. Or if you’d prefer a fresh perspective, please tell us that, as well. We’ll do our best to accommodate all requests, and we’ll always let you know if we’re unable to do so.

Your Script Notes or Marketing Package will be sent to you via email. Turnaround time is approximately three weeks.
