About Us

Empowering screenwriters since 2002.
Our History
Coverage Ink was founded in February, 2002, by Jim Cirile, a multi-produced, WGA member writer/artist /musician and then-columnist for Creative Screenwriting magazine. Jim built up a small network of trusted readers who worked for production and management companies, whom he used to develop his own material before sending it out. Looking at the few script coverage companies around in 2002, he found them to be overpriced or the coverage skimpy, demeaning or often just not helpful. So he launched CI with his trusted handful of script development pros reading for CI on the side. (more…).
What is Coverage?
Coverage is simply a reader’s report. Every script submitted to a feature film studio or agency or production company gets “covered.” When you submit a screenplay, its fate rests in the hands of one extremely important person: the READER. That individual’s opinion — PASS, CONSIDER, or RECOMMEND — determines whether or not anyone else there will ever read your screenplay. You need an ace in the hole to make sure it’s as good as it can possibly be — script analysis and development from Coverage Ink. (more…).

Words From Our Clients
Testimonials
Ted A. Blown away by the coverage
Just wanted to say I am blown away by the coverage. I wasn’t expecting it to be so thorough and insightful. Both readers did an amazing job, and got it back to me in about 10 days. While they were both passes at this time, I feel far from dejected or bludgeoned. I feel encouraged. While I may not agree with absolutely everything, most of it felt right on. And the extremely helpful fixes proposed are invaluable sources of ideas. I wasn’t going to write because you probably get inundated with emails. But I was just so impressed I wanted the readers recognized for a job well done. I will definitely use Coverage Ink again. Thank you.
Alexandria C. Really, really constructive
Of course it’s disappointing to fall in the “pass” category, but the on-line coverage and the script mark-up were really, really constructive. So many of the comments were phrased in ways that were instructive, not just corrective. I really learned a lot! I’ll be able to apply this advice to other writing projects, too. Often, we think we’ve said things clearly, but another set of eyes finds much more room for improvement.
Melissa A. A Cut Above!
I have never used Coverage Ink’s analysis service before, but certainly will again in the future!! The reader had an uncanny way of exposing some of the character/plot issues that need tightening. In addition, her thoughts as to how to approach some of these items were helpful and insightful. It was obvious how much time and effort she put into the analysis and I truly do appreciate that. Having used other script coverage services in the past, I can honestly say you guys are a cut above!
Jamee D. Most Comprehensive Coverage
I have to say I love the detailed coverage. This is the third time I’ve used you in three months. You have the most comprehensive coverage I’ve ever seen in my twenty-five years as a professional screenwriter.
Mary C. Your Service Is Fantastic
The notes I got through your service are fantastic. I’ve learned more about structure in a dozen pages (finally started going through them!), than I have in the same amount of books and online courses. Thanks so much!
Nick K. You guys are the best
I’ve tried three other coverage services and had become disenchanted with the experience. In my opinion, you guys are the best by a country mile.
