Coverage is the analysis standard currently employed by every professional company in the entertainment industry. Coverage helps an executive decide whether to "pass" or pursue the material further by glancing at a 1-2 page report. ScriptShark provides the screenwriter, teleplay writer, and prose writer with the same coverage reports our analysts generate for the many entertainment companies they work with, providing you insight into the coverage your material would receive, and allowing you to strengthen and perfect your material according to industry standards. Through our coverage services (film and manuscript only), ScriptShark identifies market-ready screenplays for our scouting services, which connects the writer with industry executives seeking exciting new voices and fresh material.
