COVERAGE PLUS offered by The Script Broker

Why do we call it Coverage Plus?

Many coverage services use lower-level readers to do their coverage. These readers are trained to say "no", so their notes tend to focus on why a script doesn't cut the mustard.

Coverage Plus Development Notes are done by experienced development executives. These higher-level execs have a different responsibility in the development process. While readers are the gatekeepers that keep out the undesirable, it is the development execs job to shepherd a script until it's ready to go out into the marketplace. That means our notes are geared toward providing solutions that will lead you to a marketable script, rather than just pointing out what's not working.

A Logline is a writer's single most important marketing tool - we've written hundreds and read thousands. We know how what makes a logline stand out and we bring that expertise to crafting yours.

Studio coverage Synopses tend to simply summarize the plot. But a straight, flat summary will not necessarily garner interest in your script.

Your Coverage Plus synopsis is written with an eye on enticing the reader. Our synopses "pop" and are written with a style that reflects the genre and tone of the screenplay. Here too we are focused on the market - because no matter how good your script is, if you don't "SELL" it, you'll never sell it.

It's important to have a realistic idea of how far you are from having a marketable draft. Our Evaluation Grid rates each of your scripts core components as well as an overall grade and a real-world pass, consider or recommend assessment. Our ratings are based on how close to being submission ready each component is. We also rate the marketability of the screenplay.

Coverage Plus Full Package Notes/Marketing Tools/Evaluation Grid $550.00
Marketing Tools Package Logline/Synopsis/Evaluation Grid only $350.00
Coverage Plus Development Notes/Evaluation Grid
only $350.00

Upgrades to the full Coverage Plus package or to other
