Scripts
Scriptwriting is a tough business. Whether you’re writing for stage, screen, interactive media, or short videos, an editor can help ensure your finished product reflects all your hard work and effort. Whether you want to get noticed by a production company, move to the next step in your project, or connect better with your audience, our script editors can help you.
A script editor will help you create a clear, concise, and compelling piece of writing. They can give you valuable feedback that will help improve your writing, take a detailed look at your work, and take care of any small mistakes that would undermine the professionalism of your script.
If you’re new to scriptwriting, an editor can also help ensure you use the format properly and to its full potential. They will check for any mistakes in formatting and can help create a script that meets industry standards. They can even help edit for things like cutting unnecessary scenes and guaranteeing that every line of dialogue helps move the story forward.
Based on your script and where you are in the editing process, our editors can give you what you need to take it to the next level.
Our Process
At The Writing Tutor, we make it easy to get the feedback you need. Get in touch with us to set up a free 15-minute consultation. During this time, we’ll discuss your editorial needs.
After you send us your work, you’ll receive a copy with comments or edits based on the service you’ve requested. You’ll also have the chance to arrange a meeting with your editor to discuss your work or ask any questions or clarifications you need.
Please let us know if you need your work formatted a certain way.
What kind of editing do you need?
Script Coverage is a big-picture overview of your script. This can help you figure out where you are in the process: are you ready to start selling your script, or does it need any major work before you move on? Coverage will provide feedback on elements like plot, originality, and dialogue, and a general plan of how you can move forward to improve your work.
Script Editing provides a line edit or an in-depth review of your work. Your editor will provide big-picture feedback on elements like plot and characters, helping you improve specific scenes and lines of dialogue, and providing a basic proofread to cover spelling and grammar mistakes.
Script Proofreading is a good final step before sending your script out into the world, or to the next stage of production. A proofreader won’t give you big-picture feedback, but they will check your script word-by-word to ensure you haven’t missed any spelling, grammar, or sentence structure mistakes. They’ll also ensure that your formatting is correct and you haven’t missed any typos.
