MANUSCRIPT EVALUATION

Do you have an idea for a film or already have a script written? Wonder if it's got legs?

A detailed evaluation of your script or treatment can give you the answer.

For the $150 script evaluation fee, Elizabeth Johnston will evaluate your properly-formatted treatment (maximum 20 pages) or script (not longer than 100 pages). Additional script pages are subject to a reading fee of $1/page, $2/page for treatment pages.

Script Evaluation includes: one page of typed comments, an annotated script, and a 30-minute discussion session. (The discussion can be in person or, via e-mail.)

Evaluation of creative writing and poetry is also available. Inquire for more information.

If you're ready to have your work seriously evaluated, and if you're ready to hear constructive criticism geared toward improvements in your work, then e-mail Elizabeth Johnston at information at explore-the-possibilities.com
