GREAT RESULTS FOR OUR LATEST CONTEST WINNER!!
“Submitting my script to Hollywoodscript.com for analysis is one of
the best decisions I’ve made as an aspiring screenwriter. Judy and
Craig are so approachable and, unlike some consultation services out
there, they always kept me informed with their excellent
communication. Not only did I receive extremely helpful feedback from
Judy, I was thrilled when I discovered I had won the monthly contest.
The prizes awarded to me have given my winning script “The Touch” a
huge amount of exposure and, so far, NINETEEN PRODUCERS AND
MANAGERS/AGENTS have requested the script. I couldn’t be happier with
the result and can’t recommend their services highly enough. I will
certainly be using them again.”

THE BOOK’S OUT NOW AND IT’S REALLY GOOD!
**NOW WRITE! SCREENWRITING**
Hi Folks, as we recently mentioned a prestigious, new screenwriting
book is now in stores. Judy and I are very proud contributors. I’ve
seen it—it’s really good and will be very helpful to screenwriters.
Here’s the skinny:
Edited by Sherry Ellis and Laurie Lamson, the latest addition to the
"NOW WRITE!" writing guide series will be released by Tarcher/Penguin
on January 6, 2011! An essential handbook featuring
never-before-published writing exercises from the acclaimed
screenwriters of RAGING BULL, ALI, TERMINATOR 2, GROUNDHOG DAY, CAPE
FEAR, Lost, True Blood, The Shield, and many other hit films and
television shows. Additional screenwriting professionals also make
important creative contributions in the book. NOW WRITE! SCREENWRITING
offers practical advice and exercises, straight from the personal
stashes of the top screenwriters working today.

PROOF READING AND BEYOND
We have a service which is mostly targeted towards writers
whose
English is not their native language (and critical mistakes are
showing up bigtime on their pages), or folks who simply need help in
the all important area of smooth and grammatical use of language etc.
Many good scripts can be hindered by these easily fixed mistakes. It's
amazing how many good writers are sending out material, before making
sure it's A-OK in this department.
VIVIENNE KELLEM was a British TV and theater actress at one time and
has an excellent command of language especially as it pertains to
theatricality. She has also worked as an educational assistant for
years helping children in these areas including lots of reading and
the like. She's helped with our scripts from time to time over the
years to solid success. Cost depends on the work that's to be done. We
ask folks to send a few pages so that price and other logistical
issues can be determined. Note: If you also want a script
consultation, it can be arranged. In some cases it’s better to do the
consultation after the proofreading has been completed, in other cases
it doesn't make any difference. (It often depends on the nature of the
script). If you're interested in this service, please email or call
us. viv.k...@gmail.net or Craig....@valley.net, 732-963-9350.
“Vivienne gave my script the final 'polish'. Not only did she help
convert my writing into fluent streamlined English, but she also
managed to 'embrace' the spirit of the text and the various
characters, which is valuable and not easy to do. My many thanks for
her excellent work.”
Thanks S. GAL
