A 1-hour phone, Zoom or Skype call with a CI story analyst or one of the management team. Chat about specifics of the script and the work to be done to get it into the end zone (reading time charges may apply if the reader has not already read the material.) Or discuss career/script strategy or marketing, pitch ideas, practice pitching, work through trouble spots in the script one-on-one, or simply have a dialogue about whatever you want to discuss.
One Hour Consultation $89
CI STANDARD ANALYSIS GIFT CERTIFICATE
Our most popular item by far, the CI standard analysis gives writers a thorough, empowering report showing what needs to be done to make the script rock. Standard Analysis (aka “coverage”) considers of a logline, synopsis, then anywhere between 4-8 pages or so of deep-dive into the story, characters, structure, craft, etc. — everything the writer needs to focus on in the next draft. It is the essential battle plan for transforming any script from “meh” to “yeah!”

CI Pro Screenplay Analysis plus Mark-Up/Editing $395
MARK-UP/EDITING GIFT CERTIFICATE
Got a great script that needs a little TLC with things like grammar, spelling, punctuation, style, script formatting, or any other craft issues? Then you need CI Mark-Up/Editing. Our reader will flag typos, clunky writing and formatting gaffes throughout the script. The essential last stop before making any key industry submissions. If you want to get paid for writing, you need to write at a pro level, and that means ironing out all the bumps. NOTE: CI Mark-up is NOT a full-on proofreading service. There are many scripts that would take DAYS to edit, especially if they are written by a non-native English speaker. While the CI Mark-Up/Editing is thorough, there are some scripts we see that require more help than this service offers. In those cases, we recommend hiring a professional proofreader.
CI Feature Mark-Up Editing ONLY (no coverage) $119
MENTORING GIFT CERTIFICATE
You must be the best person EVER, because you are giving your writer a powerful gift. The CI Mentorship includes four 1-hour phone/Skype/Zoom sessions with a CI Story Analyst (reading time may be extra if the reader has not already read the material.) These in-depth sessions allow the writer and the analyst to really dig in, act by act, page by page. They’ll unpack story and plot choices and character motivation, they’ll kick ideas around, they’ll rewrite dialogue on the spot. And after four hours, the script cannot help but improve by leaps and bounds. Several established writers who use this service to develop ideas, to map out structure and to make sure pacing, tone, and voice bring it.
Consider adding in a standard analysis to get the ball rolling and have a blueprint to work from, and you’re looking at the single most effective way to thoroughly improve not just a script but the writer’s chops in a very short span of time.
