Script Feedback
Have a script you want feedback on right away? Send us your script and we’ll send you detailed feedback within 24 hours for a competitive rate.
Most script analysts provide a single coverage sheet saying what areas are strong, which are weak and a few notes as to why. What we do is give an overview assessment of the entire script that suggests the strengths and weaknesses but also provides a line-by-line set of notes on what pulled the reader from the story. Anything from spelling errors to formatting to character development to story structure will be noted.

Crafting Your Idea for TV: Comedy or Drama
Instructor: Yolanda Beasley
Take your television knowledge to the next level. From a list of your own ideas, craft one marketable concept into a TV series bible and pilot script. Receive on-going feedback and hands-on guidance from the instructor.
Course is intense. Part of the course involves providing on-going feedback to other writers’ work. Each writer’s work will be used as a course study example at one point during the course so assignments must be completed on time. Expect approximately 8-16 hours weekly home study (varies depending on assignments and experience).
An understanding of TV structure and format are necessary for this class. The Writers’ Room course is a recommended prerequisite, but exeptions may be given for those who submit a sample TV script.
