Just as most screenwriting peer review sites are. When I first started out (some writers weren't even born), I bought script notes. For example, I recently paid a particular development exec listed on the Stage32 website to write coverage for one of my scripts, my first TV pilot, and he got back to me in less than a week with the feedback, asked if I'd like him to send the coverage to his boss, I said sure, and now his boss has the script and bible on his desk. You enter the early bird to save money and six or eight months later you get a result! Lately, I've been spending my money on options that happen faster. Agents and managers who've submitted to interviews I've read online say that they can be swayed to give a script a try if it did well in a competition they respect. My best finishes have been in the semi-finals of some lesser known competitions (one already defunct) and I've only ever advertised in my queries one script that finished in the top 6% of the Nicholl. But I haven't personally benefited from any as far as I can say for sure. I like contests mainly because I enjoy competition. So, I shall resolutely carry on betting on both. In my mind the odds aren't much different between winning the lottery or getting a film made. By nature I'm an optimist, which is why I've been playing the lottery for decades. I was so pleased to have a finished script I entered it in 10 contests. But she helped me out of the mire of my own writing.
With her patience and gentle guidance I reworked the plot, cut out superfluous characters and polished draft after draft. She helped me enormously as I had fallen into all the errors an amateur routinely makes. Prior to joining Script Revolution, I sent an overly ambitious screenplay to a script consultant. I'm new to writing screenplays, so I have no track record. However, the facility, owned by an order of nuns, was considered well run.
There were many sad abandoned souls in our care and far too many for us to spend any appreciable time with them. I once worked as an aide at a nursing home. At least, for her last four years, she had a loving daughter to care for her.
