At the current time, I am on a hiatus and not accepting proofreading or editing projects. Please feel free to check back for updates or contact me with any questions. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your understanding!
Screenplay Editing Service
Professional sentence by sentence editing to make sure your script is mistake-free, vivid, concise, and clear.
Don't Allow Mistakes to Dim Your Brilliance
Typos and errors as well as bland, overly wordy, and unclear or awkward language will prevent readers from seeing your screenplay’s true potential.
Let Your Script Shine
ScriptShine’s editing service will ensure that every sentence flows naturally, that bland words are replaced by vivid ones, that your script is as economical as possible, and that your meaning is crystal clear. Edits are made to match your voice, not mine.
All changes are made directly to your screenplay, so you’ll receive a pristine script that’s ready to submit.
You’ll also receive a second version of your script with the changes tracked in red type so that you can easily identify—and learn from—what was corrected.
It’s fast—typical turnaround times are 1.5 -2 weeks, but if you need it even faster, rush service is available.
This service includes correcting all spelling, grammar, and formatting errors as described in the Proofreading Service, plus:

More Hope, Less Anxiety
As a fellow screenwriter I know the hope and anxiety you feel every time you send a script out. I have over three years of experience as a script editor and proofread—over three years of helping writers feel a little more hopeful and a little less anxious about submitting their scripts to contests, agents and managers.
I’ve been hired to write scripts, have had several scripts optioned, and placed in multiple contests, including making the Top 50 in the Nicholl Fellowship. I know what it takes to get a script to industry standards.
Here's what past clients have had to say:
Holy cow! I love all your edits! Thanks so much for your help and thanks so much for getting it back to me so soon. I'll be in touch with more scripts in the future.
Thao N.
I read the script, and It's perfect! I see you have trimmed it and removed unnecessary phrases, as well as made the transitions smooth. Thank you so much for helping me, and I genuinely appreciate your effort to go the extra mile.

Your editing was worth a lot more than you charge. I almost hired someone else before I found your site. I am so glad I did not.
