Our Services: Film & TV
Writing for film is about the most exciting, the most lucrative - and the most difficult thing for a writer to do. Breaking into the industry is very tough, but our script editors, all of whom work for serious film development companies, can make the difference.

First we read your script. Attentively and with care. Secondly, we write a detailed report on the script. The report will tell you if your writing meets industry standards. If not, we'll tell you what to fix and how to fix it. |

Thirdly, we give you the opportunity to talk at length to your editor, so you can ask all the questions you need to, concerning your writing and the industry at large. Fourthly, and where appropriate, we'll put your work direct into the hands of a senior film agent. We can't guarantee that any agent will accept your work, but we do undertake to have your work read with real attention. |

All our editors are film industry insiders, working for some of the major players in the UK film industry. In this role, they know exactly what film companies are looking for and which scripts will sell. Also as successful screenwriters and/or novelists themselves, our editors know all about the joys and pains of the writing process itself. Their advice is therefore expert and sympathetic to your aims. For more, see Film editors. |

We are well connected with leading film and TV agents in London and, increasingly, Hollywood. Whenever we get a script which we think has genuine market potential, we will do what we can to have you and your work represented by a leading agent.

We are able to advise on TV drama, and some other categories of TV work, though not all. Please ask us whether we can help. If we can't, we'll give you an honest answer and suggest where else to go.

To submit your work, please follow the instructions on our fees page. All work should be in standard industry format (1 page = 1 minute). If your work is not in this format, we can still offer feedback & advice - but we've never yet seen a script in the wrong format which doesn't need a lot of basic structural work. So you have been warned! We'll never consent to work on a project unless we are 100% sure that we can add real value. And, as ever, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. |
