How Pro Reviewer Pricing Works
Pro Reviewers are typically assistants to producers and executives who are looking for scripts. We recommend you wait to pay for a pro review until after you have swapped scripts with fellow writers. If you’re looking for a script assessment with feedback from a pro script reader, then this premium option is for you.

All Pro Reviews
Are eligible to receive a script and/or writer recommendation. However, there is no guarantee.
*Queue Time
Once purchased, your script will be submitted to the Pro Review Queue where pro reviewers can browse scripts. A pro can then choose your script to review if it matches their interest. Read more about why we did this here: Why our Pro Reviews are Interest-based vs. Force-fed. If your script remains in the Pro Review Queue for more than 2 weeks, you will have a choice to request a refund or to resubmit to the queue.
Our Pro Reviewers receive the majority of the price indicated. We take a percentage to cover administration and processing costs.
