My Expert Service
|
1. I will give you a list of questions about your screenplay or book to answer and to give to me.
2. When 1 is completed, I shall give you another list of questions about the specifics of your screenplay or book to answer and to give to me.
3. When 2 is completed, I shall give you an outline to begin the writing of your screenplay or book. During the writing, I will be available to you for any questions you might have. You will have to send me each chapter as you finish each chapter for my analysis so that I can see that you are writing the book in a market-ready fashion as you write. This analysis will include grammar and spelling check, structure and format check, and content.
4. Once the screenplay or book is completed, I show the writer how to contact producers, agents, and editors/publishers to market the screenplay or book and yourself. Writers are looked upon by producers, agents and editors/publishers just as critically as they look at screenplays or manuscripts. One goes with the other. So, in addition to a completed screenplay or manuscript, I will need your bio that shows your qualifications for writing the book (this should include your film/tv credits, any writing experience that you have, etc.)
