Our Analysts
In Hollywood, most submissions are first read by a company’s “Readers.” Their analysis is then turned into a “Coverage Report”, and is often the only thing the company ever reads. This initial phase of the process can make or break a submission. At ScriptArsenal, our team of screenplay and manuscript analysts will go a step beyond a standard coverage report and provide notes that will help you grow as a writer.
ScriptArsenal’s top-quality analysts set us apart from the competition - professionals who have actual industry experience.
Analyst Requirements
- Read for two major companies in the past.You are looking for a professional opinion and that’s what we provide. ScriptArsenal analysts must have experience at reputable companies.
- Possess writing experience themselves. We believe it’s difficult for a non-writer to critique the foundations of the material. In turn, ScriptArsenal only hires analysts that write themselves. Most of our analysts have written on assignment or had material optioned in the past.
- Must enjoy screenplays of all genres. While our analysts may have a preference for an individual genre, ScriptArsenal makes sure they enjoy and understand the mechanics of all films.
