The average rating from our clients is:
[The] notes were so incredibly helpful and encouraging, at a time I was getting so many passes, that it actually helped me open the script to an entirely new angle…one which helped me set it up with Imagine’s new indie division.
”Absolutely worth the money! Had notes back within 2 weeks and the level of detail shocked me. I couldn’t be more thrilled and now have great direction on where to take my story for the next draft. You have a customer for life.
”Fantastic advice that helps me revisualize my T.V. pilot and the series as a whole. The analysis perfectly highlighted what I was good at and needed to work on. Thank you so much! Will definitely use [their] script coverage again!

TV script coverage FAQs.
You can find the answers to most questions on our contact page but here are some answers to popular questions about our TV script coverage services 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 notes or edit we deliver to a customer comes with a rock solid promise: you won’t be disappointed. See our testimonials page for feedback on our services from writers just like you.
Q2. Why should I choose Script Reader Pro over anyone else?
You should absolutely check out our competitors’ TV script coverage services before purchasing. You’ll find that none of them use professional screenwriters. You won’t know their 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 you, 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. It’s also true that some companies may be cheaper. It all depends whether you want to pay that little bit extra for higher quality feedback from a pro writer, or not.
Q4. But why do I even need TV script coverage? I know how great my script is better than anyone.
You don’t need coverage. 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 TV pilot coverage?
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 this 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 pilot and get more info on next steps.

Why pick an anonymous “script reader” with no experience of writing and selling TV scripts when you could pick one of our pros who do?
(Please note: This price is for scripts up to 65 pages. If yours is longer, you’ll be able to purchase extra pages during checkout, at $2 per page over 65.
Or, if you’ve written a FEATURE-LENGTH PILOT of 65-125+ pages, you’ll need to purchase Feature Script Coverage – letting the reader know during checkout that it’s a pilot.)
