What is Script Consulting?

March 24, 2024

As a script consultant, my role is to analyse your screenplay and provide detailed feedback on its key elements: story, structure, character arcs, dialogue, themes, and market potential. This feedback is designed to elevate your script, making it stand out to financiers, producers, and distributors.

Why Choose Me?

Here are seven qualities that define my approach to script consultancy:

Expert Storytelling Insight: I have a deep understanding of story structure, character development, dialogue, and genre conventions. My experience includes dissecting thousands of scripts and working as a film executive in sales and finance.

Industry Knowledge: I stay updated with current market trends and understand what producers and audiences seek, ensuring your script meets industry standards and resonates with its intended audience.

Analytical Precision: My strong analytical skills allow me to break down complex narratives and offer clear, actionable advice to refine and enhance your storytelling.

Empathy and Patience: I approach each script with empathy and patience, recognising that every screenplay is a labour of love and deserving of respectful, thoughtful feedback.

Objective Perspective: Maintaining an objective view, I provide honest, constructive feedback to help writers see their work from an industry perspective and make necessary adjustments.

Professionalism and Reliability: I ensure reliability and consistency in delivering high-quality feedback and support throughout the consultancy process.
