Lovely Script Edit & Development Service Page 5

Currently reading a couple of scripts that came in this week; still time for you to get your funny words in to me before Christmas and so receive your feedback before 2014.

DO IT. I am here only to help you. I'm big-hearted and handsome like that.

Well done, so were these people who knew you are, or people who found you via your advertising.

People who found me through advertising in places like here.

This service is officially too hot for inferior site Cookd And Bombd, which has banned me for even daring to want to help out fellow writers. *slides on bad boy shades, guns motorcycle, takes off at speed*

After some thought, I have simplified and streamlined my service, there are now just two options, one for half hour shows (or shorter), one for longer shows. (if you already paid the slightly higher price for the previously advertised service, that will be honoured!)

Here's the update:

I currently offer two levels of service (prices below), one for half hour scripts (and shorter), one for longer scripts. For each I will provide an in-depth script report which will examine things like the shows premise, characters, opening-ten, dialogue, structure, etc and give an overall verdict on the piece, plus plenty of advice and encouragement regarding what you should do next. My aim is not to just try and point out 'flaws', but to provide you with the ideas and inspiration for where to go next, and the encouraged impetus to do so.

So go on, toss your script (and cash) my way, it might be just what your script needs to get noticed.

SERVICES:

Half-Hour (or shorter) Scripts: £70

Longer Scripts: £90

Watch out, Matt. In a turf war between you & Marc Blake, I'd put my money on 'The Re-Drafter'....

Ever seen those hot dog vendors around footy grounds with their broken noses & arms in slings?

I hope you're continuing to write your own stuff? You're too young to drift into the arena of comedy teaching.

All the best mate. I might send you a script just for the hell of it.

;)

Ha, I don't think I'll be pulling to much business from The Blake.

And yes, still very much in the comedy trenches; me and my partner have a few things being developed at the moment, but I want to explore other things too. SO there's this, and I do enjoy script editing stuff. Also writing a children's book. Good to have a go at a range of stuff.

It's a brand new year! Celebrate by paying me to help you with your sitcom script.

The price for me to look at shorter scripts (10-15 min)for any of the live sitcom comps that tend to run through the year is £30.

After getting to a point with my sitcom script where I thought it was OK, but knew it was not yet as good as it could be, I decided to use Matthew's service. Definitely money well spent. The report that came back was extremely thorough and contained very honest critique of all aspects of my script, yet enough helpful advise and encouragement to inspire me to get re writing.

I am fairly new to this game and write alone (cue violins). So having someone that knows what there talking about look at my script through fresh eyes was extremely helpful, even if it does mean I have a lot more work to do. But nobody said this would be easy.

In short, I would definitely recommend this service.

How was his spelling though?

Good feedback on your good feedback, most informative.

Can I stop feeling guilty now Matty?

Truthfully I was busy then actually forgot...

Ha Ha.. yes Playfull, you may now stop feeling guilty.

Marc - His speling was impecible . much beter than mine aniway.

Thank you MattySwan, I don't want to say my advice was amazing, but it certainly was amazing.

HEY. Just bumping this, if you want your funny scripts looked at and advice tossed your way, I'm pretty, pretty good and have plenty of experience: http://mrmatthewstott.com/script-development-service/

Do you find you have to set ground rules before you start? (This seems to be my problem with my editing at the moment.)
