EF Script Consult

A recent question from a potential client that may spark a blog post later on:
What does a script consultant do?

My response:

It is a layered partnership between consultant and writer. My approach to a script becomes less about structure and more about a fully-formed realization of one's ideas. For example, if a screenplay has scenes that are irrelevant to the story's trajectory, the screenwriter might want to know how the scene could become more actionable.

Also, I sometimes organize screenwriters' ideas into a coherent structure for packaging (loglines, one sheets, pitch decks).

LIST OF SERVICES
Screenplay enhancements for shorts, features, and television. Tiers: Evaluation, Overview, and Annotated. These services are provided as written reports.

- The Evaluation is a general summary outlining what should be accomplished in forthcoming drafts.

- The Overview is a more substantial, muti-page walkthrough of various approaches, corrections, and missing pieces that can be incorporated into forthcoming drafts.

- The Annotated Tier includes formatting, eliminating, and summarizing exposition and scenes as needed. In this tier, grammatical errors, notes on what's missing, character development, polishing (dialogue and description enhancements), and plot and act structure are also discussed.

*one on ones are possible, as well. See www.EFSCriptConsult.com for more info on services.
