Quick Facts In The Report:
  • We received more than  975 responses to the survey on more than 200 analysts and consultants.
  • Prices reported ranged from $20 to more than $10,000.  Median price was just under $300.
  • There was little to no correlation between price charged and writers' satisfaction with what  they received
  • Script consultants who offer to show scripts they liked to producers received high scores regardless of whether they passed the scripts on. Writers did not perceive this kind of offer as being unethical.  
  • A few writers said the  reports  they got were worse than useless, and were actually damaging to their morale.
  • Writers reported that script analysts and consultants performed such a wide variety of services that it is impossible to tell one from the other by his/her preferred job title alone. See the pie chart below.

Hiring The Right Script Consultant Vastly Improves Your Chances
Of Selling, Optioning, Landing An Agent, Getting Other Writing Work

70% Give Script Analysts/Consultants A “Recommend” –
But Learn Which Analysts and Consultants Are Rated Best ...


Of all writers who had their scripts reviewed by professional analysts, nearly 90% adopted the analyst/consultants recommendations, and then  –
  • 11% subsequently sold or optioned that script (at least 20 times the average for all scripts) 
  • 10% got hired for other writing work 
  • 30% won or placed in a contest with that script (an amazing statistic, considering that contests receive  between a few hundred and several thousand entries!)
  • 10% landed agents with that script. 
With more than 100,000 screenplays written each year, those numbers are a resounding endorsement of the value of script analysis/consulting – if you choose the right analyst or consultant for you.

The answer will surprise you.  And yes, this report identifies individual script analysts/consultants by name.   It tells how much writers spent for their services. It also reveals--
  • The names of many highly-rated analysts and consultants you've never heard of 
  • Which consultants and analysts were top overall regardless of price 
  • Which are the best rated at barebones (under $100) prices
  • Which are the best rated at less than the median price ($299 or less)
  • Which in-depth, high-end consultants are rated best by writers
  • Which analysts and consultants were rated best for dramatic features, comedy features, horror, action, sitcom TV, and dramatic TV scripts
  • Which analysts and consultants were rated best at helping with plot overall, character development, openings, the second act, endings
  • Which analysts and consultants were rated best at helping writers with markets, marketability, and marketing strategy*   
*Some top consultants objected strongly to the fact that we asked about marketing at all.  Learn what they don't want you to know!

Other Questions And Answers:

When will the survey be published?

We expec to have it ready about March 31,  2010.  We'll publish it as soon as we finish analyzing the data, format it, and send it off to the printer.

Why A $29.95 ($24.95 discount) publication?  It used to be free with a Creative Screenwriting subscription, didn't it?

No.  This kind of study has never been done before.

In the past, one of the most popular Creative Screenwriting Magazine reports was an annual article on the “best” script consultants.  It was a great idea, but it had its limitations.  It was done by sending just one “mystery” script to 20+ chosen consultants, and then having their analyses/consultations reviewed by the Creative Screenwriting editorial team.That was probably a good method for evaluating a a small number of high-profile consultants.   However, the great majority of practitioners of script evaluation services for writers was left out entirely.

We widened the net.  We obtained a much broader set of information (more than 100 individual data fields).  And instead of having a small editorial staff review the work, we received evaluations from nearly 1,000 writers on more than 200 individual analysts/consultants.

What format will it be published in?

Initially the report on individual consultants and analysts will be published either in print magazine or directory format or in a copyright-protected secure PDF.  Later, depending on how much data we receive, we may make the additional investment to convert the information into an online database.
