Screenplay Proofreading Service
Proofreading for an error-free, professionally formatted script that you’ll feel confident submitting to the industry.
Don't Allow Mistakes to Dim Your Brilliance
Screenwriting is a competitive business. Opportunities to get your script read by industry professionals are hard to come by. Don’t blow your chance due to sloppy mistakes and improper formatting that mark you as an amateur.
Let Your Script Shine
ScriptShine’s proofreading service will ensure that your script is error-free and professionally formatted so that you’ll feel confident submitting to contests, producers, managers, and agents.
All changes are made directly to your screenplay, so you’ll receive a pristine script that’s ready to go.
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 -1.5 weeks, but if you need it even faster, rush service is available.
Errors corrected include, but are not limited to:

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 proofreader—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:
You are amazing and a blessing. It's reassuring to have someone with your skill set proofreading before making a screenplay submission. Likewise, it's astonishing to see how many errors turn up. Your speed and insight are most appreciated!
