These notes are similar to those given to professional writers when they work one-on-one with a creative or development executive. They provide more in-depth feedback than the coverage report.

If your screenplay gets a Consider or a Recommend, we will send the coverage to our contacts who are looking for your specific material. We've been doing this a number of years and have great contacts. If it gets a recommend, we will also make phone calls as well.

With the Development Notes you get:

Logline (a one to three sentence story description), Comment Summary, Grid Scores (a report card on various script elements such as Character Development, Structure, Story Concept, Theme and Dialogue), Synopsis, General Comments, and an Overall Mark of Pass, Consider or Recommend - for the material.

Separate paragraphs are included for: Synopsis, Structure, Dialogue / Writing Style, Scene Transitions / Act Breaks, Characters, Tone/Setting, Commercial Appeal, First Ten Pages, Theme and Conclusion. 6-8 pages in length.

In addition, you'll also receive our exclusive HLS Twenty Five Question Screenplay Reader's Checklist. No other company offers this! Plus you'll also receive a FREE download of our Bonus Writing Tools™, valued at $200! You can't lose.

Fees:

$239.00 ( U.S.$) Development Notes - For Screenplays Only
$189.00 ( U.S.$) Resubmission Discount (DOES NOT INCLUDE SYNOPSIS)

Regarding the resubmission price, if your script gets a consider and we need to send it out to companies, we will need a synopsis. In this case, we will use the synopsis that was supplied with the draft that you sent to us initially. But if the storyline has changed a lot and we need to update it, we will need to charge an extra $50 to have a new synopsis written. We will contact you prior to charging you this fee to get your approval.
