Regular Coverage - Coverage Bundles FAQ  [+]

Why would I want to pay anyone to criticize my work?
Feedback is one of the most important tools for making a screenplay better, and making sure that your vision comes off the page as you intended. We find that many writers have people who are more than happy to read their work: Their parents. Their partners. Their friends. However, personal relations will rarely tell you what they really think of your work, even if they are capable of reading your screenplay with a discerning industry eye. Unbiased, constructive coverage from a professional industry analyst allows you to receive sober and insightful evaluation from an individual vested in nothing but the improvement of your material.

Why should I get coverage before I send my screenplay to agents, managers and producers myself?
ScriptShark coverage prepares the writer for the industry by providing industry-caliber coverage from professional industry analysts, the same sort of professionals who would analyze and "Cover" your screenplay in any agency, production company, management company or studio that you would send your screenplay to. However, when submitting material for ScriptShark coverage, you have the opportunity to improve your material according to industry standards without getting any doors closed in your face if the material is not yet up to industry standards.

If I purchase a Regular Coverage, how do I qualify for scouting?
As in the industry, ScriptShark gives a ranking to each of the screenplays that go through its coverage service utilizing the industry-standard ranking.

Those ratings are:
Pass
Pass w/ Reservations
Consider w/ Reservations
Consider
Recommend

These rankings can be found on the last page of your coverage, following the Comments section. Should your screenplay receive a Consider w/ Reservations or above, the screenplay will qualify for our scouting services. To learn more, go to our scouting.

Is it difficult to receive a Consider or Recommend?
ScriptShark is always in search of strong material. Our reputation in the industry is maintained by our ability to get good scripts to agents, managers and producers. However, because these industry professionals trust us to provide them with industry-ready material every single time, we are committed to putting only the highest-caliber material out there, and request our analysts to be as demanding of our writers as they would be of writers working in a professional environment. This is the only way that we can maintain our stellar reputation, as well as provide you, the writer, with direct access to industry professionals who trust that any script coming from ScriptShark will be worth their while. It is important to remember that only 5% of screenplays that go through our coverage services qualify for scouting.

How do I know you're not giving my screenplay a Pass just so I'll spend more money?
The ScriptShark reputation is built on discovering new talent. Therefore,we are hoping for a Consider with every script that comes through our doors. Unfortunately, most scripts are not ready for the industry when they first arrive at ScriptShark. Nonetheless, our success is dependent on the success of our writers. Therefore, it is in our best interest to help you develop your screenplay to a Consider level, so that we may scout it to industry professionals, and maintain our reputation for locating new and exciting talent.

Are Coverage Reports good development tools?
Absolutely. A coverage report aims to provide you with a sober perspective of your screenplay, and assist you with identifying and correcting the material's weaknesses. Our comments are written with a development slant, to allow you as much insight into the future development of your material. Nonetheless, a coverage report is NOT an extensive Development report. If you are looking for detailed notes regarding the plot, characters, mechanics and conflicts of your screenplay, consider our Story Notes or Notes Plus services.

What if I don't agree with the ScriptShark coverage?
As the writer of the material, you are its champion. No one, no matter how much they like or dislike the material, will ever have your same exact vision of it. Therefore, it is rare that a writer agrees or disagrees with a coverage from beginning to end. It is your job as the writer to identify the comments and suggestions that may assist you in strengthening your vision and crystallizing your screenplay, and discard others, which do not serve the story that you feel passionate about. As a rule of thumb, and whether comments are given by ScriptShark analysts or a room full of producers, we find that a writer usually accepts approx. 70% of suggestions, while 30% are discarded.
