• MY SCRIPT NEEDS HELP! has generously donated their Screenplay Coverage Services to the winner! (total value $125.)

  • Customers receive a 2-3 page entertainment industry standard report ("coverage") that breaks down the material into feature film or television marketability components.  Studio executives and producers look at these reports when deciding which projects should be developed further and eventually "greenlit."  Writers should use the reports to: 1) submit along with their query letters to potential buyers if they receive a "Recommend" or even a "Consider" stamp of approval, and 2) to uncover their material's strengths and weaknesses, so that any areas for improvement can be addressed before submitting the material to potential buyers.  A sample coverage template is available for you to see how a report will be organized and what components are evaluated. Those key components are detailed below.
