Writing Evaluation

Your Screenplay Evaluation

Do you have a completed script ready to take to market? For seasoned writers who have completed one or more scripts, this professional consultation will provide you with a second opinion from a trusted industry expert, along with tools to make you even more confident in selling your work.

The evaluation process begins with the reading of your completed screenplay, script, treatment or TV pilot, followed by a one-on-one, live or remote evaluation conference. During the session, Professor Marilyn Horowitz will review with you all aspects of your project beginning with both its commercial viability and structure, and concluding with the actual writing / re-writing itself. As an integral part of the session, she will help you to determine step-by-step what needs to be done to bring the project to market readiness, and what that market is.

• A full script read
• A detailed one-on-one 60-minute consultation to discuss any possible last minute revisions
