Sample Analysis

EXPO DVD: A Structure Checklist: How to Plug the Holes in Your Script

Our most comprehensive service.  A detailed, written evaluation (seven pages minimum) of your work, offering creative solutions to any and all problems in your script.*  Includes a one-hour Oral Consultation by telephone or in person, plus an audio CD (or MP3 download) of the discussion.  We return your script to you with specific line and scene comments written on the pages.

We believe that a critique should be constructive.  To that end, each point in our Development Notes takes the form of a suggestion.  Accompanying each suggestion is an analysis of the issue it addresses, along with specific ideas or scenarios that would fix the problem.

Read a sample of our Development Notes.  You can also view this script analysis as a PDF file (59 KB).  Or, if you prefer, right-click the link and select "Save Target As..." to save the file to your computer.  To view or print the document you must have the Acrobat® Reader® installed on your computer.  The Acrobat® Reader® can be downloaded, free of charge, from:
