Wish you could hire a working Hollywood screenwriter to rewrite your script?
Tired of plugging away on your script by yourself and not making
the progress you’d like?
Maybe some (or all) of the following scenarios sound familiar:
• You’re struggling to get started with a script. You’re spinning your wheels wondering how the heck to beat out the story. Just when you think it’s all coming together, you realize it’s all bunk and have to start over again.
• You’re getting frustrated while writing a script. You’re happy with the concept and story on the whole but now you’re deep into Act 2 and have hit a major creative roadblock. All signs are asking you to detour to Blockville and have a nervous breakdown.
• You’ve finished a script (yay!). It’s done. You’ve poured your heart and soul into this thing but now you realize it could do with a final polish to help tighten it up and make sure it’s ready to send out into the industry.
With all three scenarios, the problem is often becoming too close to your own material. You end up going over and over the same pages for so long you can no longer see your story and characters clearly.
In short, going it alone like this often leads to more and more frustration as the script improves either not at all or only by minuscule amounts. Despite investing everything—time, money and patience—you can’t seem to get the results you want.
If you’re still struggling to master how to write a great script, if you’ve read every screenwriting book there is, if you’ve taken every class, if you’ve attended writing groups, seminars and festivals and your script STILL hasn’t cracked it, then you’re about to discover the answer you’ve been waiting for all your writing life…
Introducing our Script Doctor Service.
Rather than simply receiving written or verbal feedback, this is your chance to let a pro screenwriter get hands-on with your script.
A SCRIPT REWRITE could be “light,” “medium” or “heavy” and depending on the amount of work needed, and involves changing the story and/or characters.
It could mean anything from completely refocusing the protagonist’s goal and rewriting large chunks of the script—increasing conflict and stakes, enhancing the script’s genre(s), adding and/or removing characters and scenes, elevating dialogue, developing theme, reworking scene description, etc.
Or it might just mean changing the final sequence and climax.
Don’t worry, we understand your script is your baby.
But… if you’ve hit a creative roadblock, or want a finishing touch on the script, this might just be the service for you.
• Copyright remains 100 percent with you, the writer. We don’t make any claim on your intellectual property. No credits. No royalties. No additional fees. Read more in How the Process Works.
• Your vision is first and foremost. We’re here to execute your brief and bring the script to the place you’ve always envisaged it could be.

I highly recommend SRP – all their readers are pros who know the business inside out. The notes I’ve received are insightful and will help me improve my story. I will definitely use their services once I’ve finished writing my next draft.
”Everything was very well managed and it is a superb service. We highly recommend them, it was money well spent! Far better than sending off to the unknown “script-writers” which we used in the past, who scammed us and charged most unreasonable amounts. We definitely will use this service again on our future projects.
”My experience with Script Reader Pro was tremendous! Not only was the communication easy and quick, but the work they provided was affordable and to the utmost standard! I highly recommend their service and will continue to work with them.
”Or, you could always keep going alone…
Let’s take a look at a few of your other options other than signing up for our script doctor services:
• Keep plugging away with more common alternatives. Yes, there are some great script coverage services, screenwriting books, blog posts, etc. out there. But are they getting you where you want to be? If so, great, keep using them. If not, maybe you need one of our editing or screenplay ghostwriting services.
• Enroll on a screenwriting MFA and spend upward of $100,000, while also committing one to three years of your life and leaving in debt.
• Hire a different pro screenwriter to rewrite your script. You are, of course, welcome to try and find another writer with comparable credits and experience as our team. But choose wisely. Will you know who’s performing the work or will it be a pair of initials? Are they working writers or just script consultants or “script doctors” with no professional writing credits?
While some of these options may well be achievable, they’re often expensive, time-consuming and based on passive solo learning.
BUT this is what 95 percent of all aspiring screenwriters end up doing. As a result they:
• Struggle to master the craft. They keep making the same mistakes over and over regarding structure, dialogue, characters, theme and so on. Then they get frustrated and feel like giving up because no-one’s interested in their work.
• Feel lost and alone, like they’ve got the will but not the way. Writing’s a lonely business, but it needn’t be that lonely. As we said earlier, even the best sometimes need a hand.
• Lose motivation (and time) to write while juggling work, family, friends, etc. When things aren’t going well writing-wise it becomes even harder to stay motivated to write. And a downward spiral of inactivity ensues…
Sound familiar? Maybe right now you’re thinking…
Am I ever going to get where I want to be as a writer?
But there’s no need to.
Because we’ve been in your shoes, we know what it takes to go from aspiring screenwriter to professional screenwriter. That means we know how to get you there too.

This offer is only for serious writers who are ready for BIG changes in their screenwriting career.
There are more FAQs at the end of this page, but here are a few key points worth taking into account:
• We’re unable to give quotes without the purchase of a Script Doctor Assessment first. Ballpark figures, though, for a rewrite are anywhere between $1,000 and $15,000.
• Copyright remains 100 percent with you, the writer. We don’t make any claim on your intellectual property. No credits. No royalties. No additional fees.
• We do not offer further rewrites without additional cost. While we do guarantee that the finished work will meet the standards established by the script doctor’s assessment of the script, we’re unable to do further work on the script without another quote.
• We are also unable to guarantee your freshly rewritten script industry success once you receive it. No script doctor service on earth will be able to guarantee this outcome and we advise you to take any company’s services that do with a large grain of salt.

Everything you’ll get with your Script Doctor Assessment.
Let us know your vision for your project and we’ll take care of the rest. Here’s what you’ll get:
• 30-min call to give you the chance to speak to your pro writer/script doctor and discuss the rewrite.
• Rewrite Proposal: 1+ pages of notes on how they’d approach the rewrite on your script. Sign off on your Script Doctor Assessment, give us the go-ahead and this is what you’ll get with your rewrite:
• A “light,” “medium” or “heavy” rewrite. Your chosen script doctor will rewrite your story, characters, dialogue, etc. according to the brief outlined in the Rewrite Proposal.
• Industry connections. If our reader really likes your script they may ask you if you’d like them to pass it on to their manager or agent or other industry contacts.
• Guaranteed 5-star service. Our average client rating on Google and Facebook is 5/5 stars. You can read what other writers just like yourself say about our script doctor services on our Reviews page.
This is our proven step-by-step system for elevating writers’ scripts to the next level. Remember that old quote: “The best way to walk through a minefield… is in someone else’s footsteps”?
For years, Script Reader Pro clients have been asking us for a more hands-on writing solution. Now we’re finally ready to offer it to you.
How we’ve made hiring a script doctor a cost-effective option for aspiring writers.
Our entire business model at Script Reader Pro is built around offering screenwriters the tools and support to compete in an industry that can seem impenetrable to new creative voices.
Providing editing and screenplay ghostwriting services at a price point that’s accessible to creators is a vital part of helping new writers move their projects into production.
Our script doctor services are structured to ensure that emerging voices have access to precisely the same level of film development talent that would traditionally be utilized by the studios.
Studio-level support at indie prices.
Every creative project is complicated by three essential problems: quality, cost-effectiveness and speed.
Quality.
Obviously, you need your script to be excellent. Hiring a script doctor is in itself a statement that you are unwilling to compromise when it comes to quality.
Our writers understand this, and they will provide you with work that reflects the top of their professional craft.
Cost-effectiveness.
When it comes to money, studios will pay script doctors in amounts that compare very favorably with writer’s guild minimums.
But our fees are a fraction of what these services would be worth to a studio. Cost is an area where we know our clients need some extra effort from us.
Speed.
Keeping our demands flexible when it comes to the time commitment our script doctors are making to our clients is what makes it possible for us to offer their services at independent rates.
During the Script Doctor Assessment, our writers will propose deadlines for the work that fit specifically within their schedules.
Every writer on our script doctor team provides this service with a level of excellence that’s consistent with the best studio development teams.
Furthermore, they can do it ON A BUDGET that makes sense as a professional expense for emerging screenwriters and indie filmmakers.
But this Script Doctor Assessment isn’t for everyone…
While we’re happy to work with most writers on their scripts, we’re usually unable to help writers who:
• Want a script rewritten that’s a hot mess. We’re great writers but we can’t perform miracles. If your script is written in MS Word, is 210 pages long and doesn’t contain a coherent story, this probably isn’t the service for you. We recommend you get it checked out with one of our much cheaper script coverage services first.
• Expect guaranteed industry success after receiving their rewrite. As we are working with the material we are given and have no control over who it will be sent to, how it will be sent, or what each personal reaction will be. Therefore, we cannot guarantee writers that they will definitely be able to win a contest, gain representation or sell their script afterward. And you should probably run a mile from companies that do.
• Expect their chosen writer to automatically pass their script on to industry contacts. This service aren’t a one-way ticket to getting your work read by our writers’ contacts. It does happen, but we make absolutely no guarantees on this front.
• Want 24/7 contact with their writer. If you’re looking for a situation where you can email your chosen writer or jump on a call with them whenever inspiration strikes, this isn’t the service for you. Contact is limited to the 30-min call. (Other Script Consultancy calls may be purchased at any time.)
Sound good? Then we’d LOVE to work with you.
In just a few days you could have a blueprint in your hands
for a new rewritten version of your script.
Ready to get started? You can do so by purchasing a Script Doctor Assessment for $95 below.
You’ll receive an email letting you know we’ve successfully received your script and you will be able to have your 30-min call in approximately 14 days from the date of purchase. Or within your chosen Rush service turnaround time.

What’s included in a
Script Doctor Assessment exactly?
If you’re interested in having us rewrite your script, here’s what you’ll get with your $95 assessment.
• 30-min call. Chat with your chosen pro via Zoom, Google Meet, Skype etc. about your ideas on a possible script rewrite. This will also be your script doctor’s chance to make recommendations that they believe will best serve your overall creative vision for the project.
• Rewrite Proposal. Your chosen pro will detail the work they’re proposing and why they believe it’s necessary in a 1+ page written proposal. This will be a summation of your discussion on the 30-min call, and deliver a clear outline for the work to be completed during the project.
• Quote and turnaround time. The Rewrite Proposal comes with a quote from us on the work as well as an estimated turnaround time. (The $95 Script Assessment will be taken off the quote.)

Rewrite/Polish Service FAQs
The main difference is that a Rewrite is a custom-made service, executed by one of our writers to your exact brief. A Line Edit is a predetermined service that focuses solely on tightening up the dialogue and description.
A Rewrite is a more extensive service in which the reader brings their own interpretation to the material. It involves more significant changes on a broader scale. For example, to the story, characters and scenes.
If you still need help, please contact us.
Your completed Script Doctor Assessment will include an estimated turnaround time to complete the work. Depending on the project it could be anywhere from two weeks to two months.
If you still need help, please contact us.
If you’re looking to have us do work done on a TV or feature script, then no.
A Line Edit alone is $400-$600, and to have one of our pros come in and rewrite your script is going to be more expensive.
It does all depend on the scope and amount of work required for each individual project, which is why we’re unable to give quotes without first completing a Script Doctor Assessment.
However, if you have a synopsis/treatment/bible or short film script, then the cost will be significantly less, but of course it all depends on the material and amount of work needed on it.
If you still need help, please contact us.
Every script that’s sent to us remains 100 percent the author’s copyright.
We will under no circumstances release, or let your script be viewed, by any third party without your prior consent. Not only that, but every idea we suggest or piece of feedback that you take on board and add to your script will be completely your own.
We also never accept royalties. We’re just here to help you make it as a screenwriter and all we ask is that you invite us to the premiere. 🙂
With that in mind, we don’t sign writers’ own NDAs.
We—and to be honest, 99 percent of people and companies out there—have zero interest in “stealing screenplays.” Managers, execs, producers, etc. will be interested in hiring you as a writer, not running off with one script.
And script consultancies like ourselves have no desire to do this either. We have our own careers and reputations to take care of and simply want to help you succeed too.
If you’re still worried, however, here’s the legal angle:
• We recommend all screenwriters register their screenplays at the US copyright office and/or WGA West before sending their work out. It’s cheap, easy, and will protect you against any copyright infringement by law if it ever came to that.
• Here’s a blog post on the subject you may find useful: How to Copyright a Script the Smart Way and Avoid These 5 Legal Pitfalls.
If you still need help, please contact us.
No, the call and Rewrite Proposal is simply a page or so of notes from your chosen pro letting you know how they’d approach the rewrite.
If your script is a good fit and you’re happy with the notes, you’ll then be free either purchase or not.
If you still need help, please contact us.
All rewrites are purchased via two 50/50 split pay installments: half up front and the second half upon completion of the work, after which we’ll send the completed script to you.
Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer any other kind of payment plans.
If you still need help, please contact us.
In order to get a quote for a rewrite we need to first complete a Script Doctor Assessment. How much it the overall rewrite will cost depends on the scope and amount of work required for each individual project so we’re unable to give estimates.
It will definitely be over the cost of our script coverage services, though, so over the $200 to $500 range. You can purchase a Script Doctor Assessment on our Script Doctor services page and the pro of your choice will write up a page of notes on how they’d approach the rewrite/polish, along with a quote.
If you still need help, please contact us.
A Rewrite/Polish isn’t a back-and-forth, collaboration-style service but you can book a free email exchange or 15-minute call with your chosen writer before they get to work.
Your pro will then work independently on your script. Once you receive your freshly rewritten or polished script, you’ll then be able to reach out with any queries or concerns.
If you wanted to work on the script together and bounce ideas around then we’d recommend a 6- or 12-Week Mentorship, but that would mean you’d be doing the actual writing.
A rewrite/polish means letting our writer do the writing as outlined in the Initial Assessment. You’re also welcome to set up a Script Consultancy Call first to discuss or send over advisory notes for free.
If you still need help, please contact us.
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.
We could rewrite the script to vastly improve it but that doesn’t necessarily guarantee that anyone in the industry will want to read or buy it. This depends very much on the standard of the screenplay we’re given to work with and the level of marketing it receives afterward.
We highly doubt you’ll find any company out there who says they can guarantee that the script will be a success—and if they do, we recommend you proceed with caution as more than likely they’re promising things just to take your money.
If you still need help, please contact us.

Top 10 FAQs
Great, glad you found us! Whether you have a feature screenplay, TV pilot, synopsis/treatment or even just a logline, we can help you out.
You can find an overview of all our services on our script coverage services page.
How much help do you need? The service you pick will depend largely on how intensive you want your chosen pro’s involvement with your work to be. This could range from written feedback, to a one-hour call, to mentoring you once a week, to completely rewriting your script for you.
Once you’ve decided on a service, you’ll be given the option to pick a pro screenwriter during checkout.
Pro availability: Most of our pros are available for most services, but there are exceptions. Jenna Mattison only does rewrite/polish/ghostwriting assignments for example, but you’ll know if they’re available if their photo is on the service page.
Also be sure to check out our Meet the Team page where we update our pros’ general availability.
If you still need help, please contact us.
Here’s the two-step plan to picking the pro of your choice:
1. If you haven’t already, check out our writers’ profiles on our Meet the Team page. There you’ll find their mini-bios and genre specialties and also will be able to check if they’re currently available
2. Make sure that their photo appears in the pro gallery on the service sales page that you’re interested in. If it’s not there, then they’re not available for that particular service
3. Proceed to checkout, where you’ll be asked for your first and second choice pro. If you ONLY want one particular pro, be sure to add them as your first and second choice
And that’s it!
A note on reader availability:
If your first choice isn’t available your script will go to your second choice. In the unlikely event your second choice isn’t available, we’ll contact you.
If you leave your second choice as “I don’t mind” we’ll send your script to who’s available and best suited to your script’s genre.
If you really want a specific pro, add them as your 1st AND 2nd choice and we’ll be sure to pass it on to them or get back to you with their availability.
(Important: Not all pros are available for all services. If your chosen pro’s photo isn’t on the service page you’re interested in, it means they’re unavailable for that particular service.)
If you still need help, please contact us.
Yes, if you’d like to submit your script for a Proofread, Line Edit, or Rewrite/Polish, but it’s written in a non-screenwriting program (which we don’t accept) like MS Word, we can perform a complete professional reformat using the screenwriting software of your choice.
Once reformatted, you could then purchase the desired service as per normal.
Simply contact us, attaching a copy of the script (or at least five pages) and stating the it’s page count and we’ll get back to you with a quote for the reformat.
If you still need help, please contact us.
We have two types of turnaround time available:
1. Standard 14 days (approximate). This means you will receive your work back roughly within two weeks. We cannot guarantee a return of your work exactly on Day 14—it could be a day or two later, so hang tight!
2. Rush . If you order a 3- or 7-Day Rush service, you will receive your work back three or seven days later, starting from the day after purchase.
This is calendar days too, so includes weekends and most holidays.
(For example, if you purchase a 3-Day Rush at 4 pm on a Monday, Day #1 of the countdown will start on Tuesday as the first full day. So you can expect your notes back no later than midnight Thursday. )
Rush orders received after 12 pm PST will be processed the following morning and the turnaround countdown will start from that day.
(For example, if you purchase a 3-Day Rush at 6 pm on a Monday, it’ll count as a Tuesday purchase and so Day #1 will be Wednesday and you’ll receive your notes back no later than midnight Friday. )
(All times are Pacific Standard Time.)
If you still need help, please contact us.
Unfortunately, once a script’s been allocated to a pro we’re unable to accept further drafts.
However, if you have made some major story changes (i.e. not just correcting typos, formatting or making light edits) contact us and we will give you a quote for resubmitting depending on how much work the reader has already done.
Please note: If we do accept a new draft, the turnaround time will start again from the time and date we receive it.
Yes, it depends on whether you purchase a Feature service, TV service, Short Film or Synopsis service. All extra pages can be added to your order during checkout.
Feature screenplay page limit: If you’re sending in a feature script (for a movie) for any of our services, the page count limit is 125 pages (not including the title page). If your script is 126 pages or over, you’ll see an option during checkout to purchase extra pages. Each page limit is charged at $2 per page for all coverage/consultancy call services and $4 per page for Proofread, Line Edit and Margin Notes services.
TV script page limit: If you’re sending in a television pilot for any of our services, the page count limit is 65 pages (not including the title page). If your script is 66 pages or over, you’ll see an option during checkout to purchase extra pages. Each page limit is charged at $2 per page for all coverage/consultancy call services and $4 per page for Proofread, Line Edit and Margin Notes services.
Short film page limit: If you’re sending in a short film for any of our services, the page count limit is 20 pages (not including the title page).

Each page limit is charged at $2 per page for all coverage/consultancy call services and $4 per page for Proofread, Line Edit and Margin Notes services.
Synopsis/treatment page limit: If you’re sending in a synopsis, treatment or outline for any of our services, the word count limit is 4000 words. If your word count is over 4000, please contact us stating your document’s word count and we’ll send over a customized purchase link.
If you still need help, please contact us.
We don’t accept scripts written in Word as they almost always have super wonky formatting, look unprofessional and it’s hard to calculate a script’s true length.
So, our advice is to reformat the script first using a professional screenwriting software.
You can choose from one of these best pro software choices currently on the market below, reformat the script, and then send it in to us for the service.
Best Screenwriting Software Compared [PAID]
Best Free Screenwriting Software [100% FREE w/ usability limits in some cases]
Or we could reformat the script for you.
Alternatively, if you don’t have the know-how or time, you could purchase our Script Reformat Service which would completely reformat your script to industry standard, using the screenwriting software of your choice.
Contact us, attaching the script (or at least the first 5 pages), we’ll get back to you with a quote.
Or, the cheaper (but more time intensive) option for you would be to select a screenwriting software and copy the script over to it. Then you could submit as per normal for the service of your choice.
If you still need help, please contact us.
We don’t accept log-in details to perform work in the cloud using programs like Celtx or WriterDuet.
However, if you can export the script to a PDF if you’re looking to purchase coverage, an Initial Assessment or have a Consultancy Call, you can submit that to us.
If you’re looking to have an edit done on your script (Rewrite/Polish, Proofread, Margin Notes or Line Edit), you can export to Final Draft (or similar non-cloud based screenwriting program), or even to a .txt or .rtf file, and we can perform the work and then you can import again into the cloud.
If you still need help, please contact us.
There best route is to try and get a manager first as they’re more about making connections than agents who are there when you want to sign a deal.
We have a few blog posts on the subject that will tell you all you need to know:
How To Get A Screenwriting Agent: The Ultimate Guide
We may be able to hook you up with an agent, manager or producer, but you have to have received a “Recommend” rating from one of our script coverage services. If so, we may ask if you’d like us to pass your screenplay on to the reader’s contacts (as long as it’s also a good fit.)
If you still need help, please contact us.
1. Purchase a Script Doctor Assessment. During checkout, once you click “Add to Cart,” you’ll be able to choose your turnaround time, make a $95 payment (or Rush payment), choose your pro writer and upload your script as a PDF.
2. Have a 30-min call with your chosen pro. Discuss your script and your vision for the direction you’d like it to take.
3. Assess your Rewrite Proposal. Your pro will then write up a Rewrite Proposal for you, confirming what’s been discussed on the call and the changes you’d like made. The proposal will include a turnaround time and quote for the project.
