Script Coverage UK – UK Script Consultant and Script Doctor UK

As a professional UK script consultant with over 20 years experience in UK film and TV (with credits across all the UK networks and on produced and theatrically released UK feature films).  I often get contacted by writers, producers and directors to do ‘script coverage’ on potential projects.

You can read more about what I offer in my script coverage services below including what makes me different from other UK Script Consultants.

Script coverage UK

Your script will be reviewed personally by me – a BAFTA shortlisted and Royal Television Society nominated award winning professional script writer.

Your script will NOT be reviewed by an amateur who has done a course on how to write script reports.

Your script WILL be professionally assessed by a script writer with credits on the IMDb as a script writer and script consultant stretching back over 20 years.

Your script report will be a page by page analysis of strengths and weaknesses of your script.

The coverage will include suggestions on how to fix any problems in the script with detailed notes on;

  1. Plot
  2. Dialogue
  3. Characterisation
  4. Technical notes on script formatting

The coverage will include advice on the marketability of your script and on where to take your script from here.

You can find out what my script reading and script coverage rates are below;

  • Short film script report £50
  • TV drama up to one hour script report £80
  • Feature film script report £120

Don’t be shy, I won’t bite, and I also treat all writers at whatever level with respect and courtesy.
