Screenplay Development Consultant / Scene Analyst (Not a Co-Writer)
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
Project Overview:I am a published author adapting a specific, highly dramatic section of my book into a feature screenplay. The project has been meticulously developed over the last 8–10 years, has gone through multiple treatments, and has already received a professional developmental script edit. I am not looking for a co-writer or a ghostwriter. I write my own pages, but I need a sharp, experienced screenwriter and script consultant to act as an objective sounding board. The Scope of Work:Session-by-Session: We will work on a flat-fee, per-session milestone basis. I am looking to spend roughly $150 to $200 per session. The Workflow: Prior to a session, I will provide a short selection of pages (approx. 10–15 pages) or a specific scene breakdown for you to review alongside my existing editor's notes. The Interactive Call: We will hold a live 60- to 90-minute interactive session (via phone or video) to actively sift through specific scenes, analyze pacing, and troubleshoot structural roadblocks. Confidentiality: A standard non-disclosure agreement (NDA) must be signed before any script material is shared. All intellectual property remains 100% mine. Requirements: Proven experience in screenplay analysis, script doctoring, or story development. Ability to break down scene dynamics, subtext, and cinematic pacing. Payment is a guaranteed flat rate of $150-$200 per session (read + live call). Please reply with a brief summary of your screenwriting background In-Person Option (Las Vegas): We can also meet in person at a coffee shop or public workspace to sift through the scenes together, rather than using a video call.
