Script Reader Pro Reviews

To see more reviews visit our Facebook and Google pages.

I ordered a “Margin Notes + 2 Readers + RUSH.” The notes were returned under 48 hours without compromising on the quality of work. Script Reader Pro is definitely the best screenwriting service out there.

Jason Chan

I chose the ‘margin notes’ and I’m really pleased I did. This is genuinely helpful, specific and detailed feedback of a very high standard. Going forward, I wouldn’t use any of the other services out there again.

Sonja Crockford

I’ve used Script Reader Pro services twice: Margin Notes and Line Edit. Not only were the weaknesses noted but how to fix them. The strengths were also pointed out. I will definitely use Script Reader Pro again.

How our Margin Notes
process works. 

Vague, cliche-filled notes from an anonymous pair of initials don’t help anyone. Get a DIY action plan on how to upgrade your script instead from a pro screenwriter.

1. Choose a pro screenwriter. Before heading to checkout, you can check which pros are available and their bios on our About page. (All of our pros do Margin Notes except Peter Briggs and Jenna Mattison.)

2. Choose a turnaround time. Once you’re in checkout, choose between our standard turnaround 14-Day (approx) turnaround or a faster 3- or 7-Day Rush service.

3. Send us your script. After checking out you’ll be able to upload your feature script (in an editable file format – and not Word – up to 125 pages). You’ll also be able to leave any notes you might have for your chosen pro.

4. Kick back and relax. You’ll receive an email letting you know we’ve successfully received your script and to confirm your chosen turnaround time.

Margin Notes FAQs. 

You can find the answers to most questions on our contact page but here are some answers to popular questions about our Margin Notes service below.

Q1. How do I know this won’t be a waste of my money?

Script Reader Pro was born out of its CEO, Al Bloom’s, frustrations at receiving vague, unhelpful script coverage from anonymous readers on his own scripts. That’s why we do the exact opposite! Every set of Margin Notes we deliver to our customers comes with a rock solid promise: you won’t be disappointed. See our testimonials page for feedback on our Margin Notes and other services from writers just like you.

Q2. Why should I choose Script Reader Pro over anyone else?

You should absolutely check out our competitors’ services before purchasing. You’ll find that hardly any of them actually does Margin Notes. None of them use professional screenwriters. You won’t know the readers’ names, just their initials. You won’t know what their experience is, other than something vague about “working at top agencies.” You won’t be able to choose a reader unless you pay extra, and so on.

Q3. But Company X offers 6 pages of notes in 24 hours for $80! Sounds better than this Margin Notes thing, right?

Hmm… Yes, it’s true other consultancies do offer script coverage services at lightning speeds. We prefer to get things right by only offering a rush turnaround time of 3 days. We’re also the only company that we know of that offers on-the-page Margin Notes. So if you want a page-by-page, more in-depth analysis than script coverage, we recommend Margin Notes.

Q4. But why do I even need feedback from a pro? I know how great my script is better than anyone. 

You don’t need feedback. But the thing is, even professional screenwriters get feedback on their scripts from other writers, their managers, friends, etc. before showing them to other people. When you’re “in the weeds” of your own script, it can be super hard to know if it’s working or not. An outsider’s perspective can be invaluable in determining just how good it is and what it needs to make it better. Especially if that person is a pro screenwriter themselves.

Q5. Can you guarantee that I’ll break in after using your Margin Notes service?

Unfortunately, there are no guarantees in this business as it’s super subjective. Therefore, we’re unable to guarantee any level of success after completion of the work, such as securing an agent, manager or making a sale or winning a contest. If you find a script consultancy that does guarantee these things, we recommend you proceed with extreme caution.

Q6. I’m not paying you to just feed my script into an A.I. software am I?

This is a smart question in this day and age. Look, A.I. can do a lot of things, but it can’t tell a writer how to write a great script (not yet anyway). But we can. And our successes reflect that. Don’t forget, if you prefer a cheaper option, we can also provide a 30-min Script Audit call with you so you can talk to the pro of your choice face-to-face about your script and get more info on next steps.
