Frequently Asked Questions

What is the turnaround time?

The standard turnaround is about 14 days. A 3- or 7-Day Rush service is available.

Can I submit a script in a cloud-based program like Celtx or WriterDuet?

We don’t accept login details for cloud-based programs. Export your script to Word, .txt, or .rtf, and send it to us. We’ll format it in professional screenwriting software like Final Draft.

I’m not paying you to just feed this into an A.I., am I?

Nope! A.I. can’t transpose an ill-formatted script in Word to a perfectly formatted Final Draft script. Our successes reflect our human touch.

Can you guarantee that I’ll break in after using your services?

No guarantees in this subjective business. We can’t promise you’ll secure an agent, manager, sale, or win a contest. Be cautious of any consultancy that does.
