SCRIPT CORRECTIONS

WELCOME TO THE

SCREENWRITING DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

"What YOU've got here is... failure to communicate."
                            George Drivakos, paraphrasing the Prison Captain in "Cool Hand Luke."

Yes, when a professional reader reads your script, and you have failed to “communicate” your vision of your story, you pay the price. The reader stops reading, because of lack of “Readability/Clarity”.

This is where “Script Corrections” comes in.

Most new writers may start with a good story concept, interesting characters, and a great setting, but they have trouble in communicating their vision clearly on the page in black and white.

Story “Clarity” is like a sparkling clean window. You don’t even know it is there. When you read the scripts of successful screenwriters you don’t notice the presence of Clarity, you are just engrossed in the story.

When the slightest dirt sticks on the clear glass window, you can’t help but notice it. The same way, when a reader can’t determine what he’s seeing in the scene, he gets jarred out of the picture.  One too many of these disruptions in the flow of the story, and the reader discards the script.

In the last five years I have helped dozens of new writers to not only improve the Clarity of their scripts, but also how to think and visualize scenes like a movie camera does.

My credentials are:

• I've placed as a finalist in one competition.
• I have been a reader for the Chicago Screenwriters Network contest.
• I have read MANY dozens of books on Screenwriting, as I am a Screenwriting Literature Junkie.
• I have read hundreds of Produced Screenplays.
• I have been correcting fellow screenwriters' scripts for five years.

“Script Corrections” is not a coverage service. It is the streamlining of all clarity and formatting issues, before a professional reader, whether a consultant or a studio reader, should read the script.

If your script has serious Readability/Clarity issues, both the Consultant and the Studio reader will comment: “The script lacks clarity, you need to re-write.” So you’re back to square one.

Why don’t I provide coverage?

I have my own niche, and I am good at it.

My specialty is helping new writers how to think visually and then put their ideas on the page.
