Writer - Script Reader - Researcher
Script Services
While many script reports give overall feedback on areas such as structure, plot and character, I also offer practical editorial suggestions on how to improve specific parts of your script. My feedback lies somewhere between the offers of a script reader and a script editor, as I suggest specific changes to structure, dialogue and visuals to give you an actionable basis for your next rewrite.
For comedy writers, I am particularly skilled at increasing your gag count, which I do by exploiting opportunities for comedy that already exist within your writing. My feedback in this area includes adding and refining setups and punchlines, as well as highlighting ways that you can draw more comic mileage from existing characters, settings and situations. Rather than pointing out which gags are stronger or weaker and asking you to make the script funnier, I will help you with the actual business of adding in more 'funny!'

Please see my services below - you can contact me by email or via the contact form below. For longer scripts, I am more than happy to arrange a call and discuss your idea before you decide if you would like a full report.
