Dear Fellow Writers and Industry Professionals,
Are you sick
and tired of banging your head against the walls of fortress
Hollywood until they’re bloodstained?
Are you ready to get really serious about your
writing career – and start creating screenplays that
sell?
Bottom line: do you want to start making money
making movies?
Then let me break it down for you…
You need to use a script consultant on each
and every script you write – at least the ones you want
to sell.
Okay, you may think I’m biased because
I’ve been a script consultant for the past ten years.
Fair enough. I would be skeptical too.
But do one thing for me…
Ask any industry professional with legitimate
experience and they’ll probably tell you the exact same
thing.
Script Consultants are not a “sometimes”
thing in Hollywood anymore. They’re an all the time
thing – at least for those striving to succeed.
But let me ask you a couple questions to put
it into better perspective:
1. If you were building a ten million dollar
business that had a possible return of 300 million, wouldn’t
you invest a few hundred bucks to make sure your business
plan was the very best it could be?
2. If you were designing a multi-million dollar
building that could yield future contracts worth millions
more, wouldn’t you invest in having the blueprints
evaluated to make sure that building would stand?
Any successful
architect or entrepreneur would answer with a resounding ‘yes.’
Well, what is
a screenplay, if not a ‘blueprint’ or ‘business
plan’ for a multi-million dollar business called a ‘movie?’
So you would think
all aspiring writers would seek professional, in-depth feedback
to make sure their script is rock solid before sending it
to Hollywood, right?
Wrong.
And that,
in part, is why the majority of the 100,000 screenplays registered
with the WGA each year will never be built into anything but
a trash heap.
Those are staggering
statistics, I know. When I first heard them, it made me seriously
question my career choice as a screenwriter.
But did you know
that having
your script evaluated and de-bugged of all the reasons ‘readers’
outright reject material, puts your project in the TOP 10
PERCENT of all screenplays written?
THAT’S
A 90% INCREASE IN YOUR CHANCES!
(Please re-read
those last two lines, because that’s it in a nutshell,
folks.)
So tell me, why
do most writers not seek professional feedback?
The
Truth is -- Bad Attitudes and Misinformation About Script
Consultants Kill the Career of Thousands of Writers Each Year
That’s
no exaggeration, I swear.
Even though I’m
a professional script consultant, I started my career as a
screenwriter. And as both a consultant and screenwriter, I
have a unique perspective that has allowed me to recognize
A HIDDEN EPIDEMIC in the writing community. I also know because
I suffered from the same disease.
Want to know
what the name of this epidemic is?
Actually, it has
two names…
DENIAL and RATIONALIZATION.
And when you ‘rationalize,’
all you’re doing is using ‘rational lies’
to convince yourself that you should or should not take a
particular action.
So what are many
writers denying or lying to themselves about?
That they don’t
need ‘professional help’ to make their stories
the best they can be.
The ‘rational
lie’ goes something like… “It’s okay
to pay for a book, maybe a class or workshop, but to actually
pay somebody to read your script is a waste of money, man.”
Folks, excuse
me for being so blunt…but that’s just plain crazy.
Remember the analogy
of the architect having his blueprints reviewed, or the entrepreneur
having her business plan looked over by another pro? Is that
a ‘waste of money?’ Are all the fortune 500 companies
spending tens of millions a year bringing in consultants ‘wasting
their money?’
The fact is, throughout
all recorded history, the most successful people in every
field have used consultants, coaches, and mentors to point
out their blind spots and supply them with the objective,
constructive feedback that gave them the competitive edge!
So, I guess the
question to ask is: “Do you want to grope around in
the dark, and reinvent the wheel -- or model ‘the most
successful people throughout recorded history’ and become
a successful screenwriter?”
Sure, some writers are so brilliant they could scribble on
toilet paper and sell it for six figures…
…but the
hard fact is that the majority of us, even those already making
money making movies, need professional feedback to take our
scripts to the next level.
Period.
I’ll be
honest, it wasn’t until I finished my fourth script
that I finally broke down and paid a script consultant to
give me in-depth feedback on my work.
Until then, I
had a well-rehearsed bag of ‘rational lies’ to
keep me stuck in neutral.
I thought giving
my script to family and friends would be good enough.
I’m still recovering from some of those sessions.
I thought having
my ‘writing buddies’ read my scripts would give
me everything I needed to succeed.
And I got some
good notes. But it wasn’t enough. Not by a long shot.
You see, too many other issues can cloud the process when
you use friends, family, and close colleagues. They know you
way too well, which can color their feedback. You’re
not paying them, so there tends to be less than full commitment
to your material.
And then there’s
competition, envy, bitterness, and other frustrations that
can consciously or unconsciously creep into their perception
of your project.
I know that sounds
harsh, but it also happens to be true.
I estimate that
my resistance to seeking outside help cost me years of wasted
time and thousands of dollars in missed opportunities.
Don’t get
me wrong, I’ve learned something from every script I’ve
ever written, and every note I’ve ever been given, but…
My
Experience Using Professional Script Consultants Took My Career
to a Whole New Level
By using a script
consultant, I not only transformed my fourth script into a
contest finalist, but I learned so much about the craft of
screenwriting in such a short period of time that I was able
to use my newfound knowledge to rewrite two of my previous
scripts from the ground up.
And guess what
happened after that?
I
Got a $10,000 Option On One of Those Scripts!
That was the best
investment I ever made. (And I know about good and bad investments,
having lost many times that amount in the stock market!)
But that was just
the beginning…
As
a direct result of my work with other script consultants,
I have landed writing assignments, development deals, options,
and staff-writing positions – not to mention continually
growing as a writer.
And I’m
not alone.
As
a direct result of our consulting, clients have secured millions
in financing, made 6-figure screenwriting deals, book deals,
been hired to executive produce, direct, and star in their
own movies, obtained major distribution, and won multiple
film awards.
With The Script
Clinic’s comprehensive list of services, from in-depth
analysis on every facet of story, to logline, query letter,
pitch creation, script-doctoring, and marketing solutions
-- we could help you become one of our success stories!

and his personal attention always exceeds my expectations.
Unlike many consultants, Derek makes a sincere effort

to steer me into a genre or style he personally prefers.
And sure it's business, but I also consider Derek a
friend.”

“Derek
Rydall’s script doctoring was instrumental in
taking our script NO TURNING BACK to the level where
it could get produced. He was not only great in bringing
focus to our story to make it more compelling, but also
in developing dialogue that gave a clear and distinctive
voice to each one of the main characters. I’m
certain that without Derek’s help NO TURNING BACK
would have never ended up winning 21 international awards
and getting worldwide distribution.”

What
Makes Scriptwriter Central’s “The Script Clinic”
Different from the Rest?
“The
Script Clinic Creates a New Benchmark in Script Consultation.”
After much thought
and planning, our team has come up with what I believe is
one of the strongest – most complete – array of
service plans that exists in the industry.
We want to go
above and beyond the call of duty to support writers in their
craft. Especially writers willing to invest their hard-earned
cash to gain that extra edge.
Remember, I’ve
been where you are now. I’ve struggled hard to find
an honest and legitimate professional who could help me make
my script the best it could be.
If you’ve
read this far, I’m guessing that you’re looking
for the same thing.
I’ll get
to the details of our service plans in a moment. But first,
I just want to mention…
Three
Reasons Scriptwriter Central’s “Script Clinic”
is the Place to Go for Professional Script Consultation.
1.
The Power of Our Proprietary Analysis System.
Don’t misunderstand
me, the Industry Pros we have on staff are at the top of their
field. Even on their own, they provide an outstanding level
of analysis.
But we have discovered
that by creating
a system of simple, yet powerful diagnostic tools, utilized
by Certified Industry Consultants, we could streamline the
evaluation process and deliver targeted, specific, consistently
high-quality, in-depth screenplay analyses – EVERY SINGLE
TIME!
2. Our New “Unlimited Follow-up” Feature.
On a trial basis,
with each executive package we sell, we are providing
for each client ‘unlimited follow-up’ by email,
on basic questions pertaining to their analysis.
I’m
not sure how smart this is on our part, but as a marketing
test, we are offering this service at no added cost whatsoever.
The reason I
want to do this is because, again, I know what it’s
like to be on the other side.
As a screenwriter,
I didn’t want to pay more money for additional questions
about my material – just because I couldn’t think
of them until after my initial consultation.
But I also wasn’t
comfortable calling or e-mailing the consultant after we’d
completed the package.
Even when the
consultant answered my question, there was often a sense that
they were doing it grudgingly, that they were doing me a favor
-- that they wanted to charge me for it!
Hey, I can’t
blame them. Time is money, blah, blah, blah, right?
But I wanted to
figure out a way to do it better, to give our clients what
I would want in a best-case scenario.
I might be crazy
to offer this. We’ll see…
That’s why
it’s only available
on a trial basis.
Those who purchase
one of our executive packages today will be able to take advantage
of it. But I really don’t know how long this offer will
last.
One thing I know…there
is no other script consultant who offers this kind of service.
3.
Our Better Than Risk-Free Money Back Guarantee.
Yep, you read
that right.
Even when writers
know they need the services of a consultant -- and
believe it could be the difference between their script selling
or becoming shredded paper at the bottom of a bird cage --
some still stand frozen on the sidelines, unable to take the
leap.
Again, I totally
get it.
Been there, done
that.
So what we’ve done at The
Script Clinic is create a policy that takes all
the risk out of the equation for the more expensive packages.
No longer do you have to worry if you’ve just dropped
several bills on a bogus service.
This is unprecedented
in our industry. This is the strongest guarantee
I’ve ever seen from a screenplay consultant!
Please read all of the text below
the money-back guarantee certificate, so you're clear howto
become eligible for this offer...

BETTER THAN RISK-FREE MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
This offer applies
to the In-Depth & Executive level packages only.
In order to be
eligible, you must notify us via e-mail, at the time of purchase,
that you would like to take advantage of this special offer.
Once these requirements
are met, after reading the first act of your screenplay, your
consultant will contact you and provide an analysis in accordance
to the package you purchased. (If you request a report only,
the consultant will contact you via e-mail.)
If, at that point,
you are not completely satisfied with the quality of the feedback,
for whatever reason, we will gladly give you a full refund
– and wish you the best in all your endeavors.
What’s
more, you will get to keep all the notes we’ve give
you – as our thank-you for giving us a try. Who knows,
you might just find some use for them down the road.
“How can you guys do that?”
That’s
a fair question. And, again, we might seem crazy for offering
it. But I’m not worried.
You know why?
Because I believe
we provide the most thorough, comprehensive, client-centered
script consulting services in the business.
But don’t
take my word for it –
GIVE THE SCRIPT CLINIC A TRY AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!
Okay,
still not convinced? There’s something else I believe
puts The Script Clinic above the competition…
The
Biggest Challenge for Writers and Production Companies is
Finding Script Consultants Who Are Genuinely Interested In
their Clients, Not Just in Collecting Their Fee.
It’s like
the medical system nowadays. It’s all become so impersonal,
like an assembly line.
I remember a time
when doctors treated you like a friend, asked how the family
was, how things were going in your life.
You really felt
like they cared about you – the whole you.
You didn’t
feel rushed, like some nameless number on a medical chart
whose only real value was in meeting some pharmaceutical quota.
At The Script
Clinic, we really do care about your struggles.
We believe a good
script consultant can become a kind of long-term business
partner, a trusted advisor.
In fact, for you
writers new to the industry, a professional script consultant
at The Script Clinic can become your first true industry contact
and confidante.
Let
us be your biggest advocate on this journey to screenwriting
success!
LET US HELP YOU TAKE YOUR SCRIPT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
OR REFER A FRIEND WHO USES OUR SERVICES
– AND GET $50-$100 CASH!
Just to make
sure you really do have all the information you need to make
a qualified decision, let me give you a few more scenarios
to consider:
You're
having a hard time breeching the wall of Fortress Hollywood
to just get your script read…
We know what a battle it is get anyone in town to take your
script seriously. And we want to help you win the fight. The
Script Clinic is your ladder over the wall, into the Hollywood
community.
You’re
at the beginning of the writing process and you want to make
sure your story idea is solid and commercially viable…
Probably the
biggest reason for a bad script is a bad foundation. Set yourself
up for the best chance of writing a great script by getting
The Script Clinic to provide you with a full critique on your
work in progress.
Whether it’s
just a logline, premise, outline, or treatment, The Script
Clinic will give you the analysis you need to create the strong
foundation every great script requires.
You've
got a spec for a Television Episode that you want to send
out as a writing sample…
The Script Clinic offers various levels of script notes for
one-hour dramas and half hour sit-coms. Let our professional
script consultants guide you step-by-step through the development
process of creating a great television script.
You finished your book (manuscript)
and want to know if – and how -- it could be a movie…
A large percentage of movies are based on books. Because of
this, many first-time authors have been able to sell both
their book and movie rights – before they were even
published. Hollywood is on the lookout for the next great
book. Find out if yours has what it takes!
You've got a chance to send your material to a production
company, studio, or agency. Great! But don’t rush it.
Let The Script Clinic see it first.
You only get one chance to make a first impression. Nowhere
is this truer than when you submit your work to a production
company or studio (where they keep databases to track submissions).
Make sure it’s the best it can be by having us take
a look at it first.
Don’t
Make the Mistake Thousands of Writers Talk Themselves into
Every Year!
If you’re
still with me, I’ll take a wild guess that you know
you need the kind of service The Script Clinic provides.
Whether you are
a screenwriter struggling to write
that breakthrough script, an established writer trying to
get the greenlight, a producer trying to get a deal, or a
novelist trying to adapt your book for the screen…
We can help.
Many writers,
authors, and indie producers hesitate when it comes to seeking
professional help on their projects.
And do you know
where many of their careers are today?
Nowhere.
Sorry, I know
that’s harsh…but, again, it’s the truth.
So the question
to ask is:
Where are you?
My team and
I have really thought hard about how we can provide the
best script consulting services on the market today.
I think we’ve
made a pretty compelling argument here for why getting professional
feedback is not a ‘maybe’ but a ‘must.’
You’ve
probably taken a look at some of our competition and know
the value that we are offering here is pretty much unsurpassed.
And
we’re offering all of this with an ironclad better than
risk-free, money-back guarantee!
If you are ready
to take it to the next level, I urge you to
click here now to check out which service plan is for you
and take your first step to screenwriting success.
But if after
all of this, you’re still on the fence, let me ask you
a question:
Why?
If after you
receive our analysis on your first act, you decide for any
reason you are not happy, just say the word and we’ll
refund every cent of your money.
YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING TO LOSE.

HAVE YOUR SCRIPT ANALYZED TODAY!
P.S. --
There are only 5 reasons not to use The Script Clinic
today:
1. No money.
If you're broke,
it should be obvious that you’re doing something wrong
in your career. That’s not a judgment of you, I promise.
I've been broke, too. But I had to face the reality that I
was creating my state of success, or lack of it – and
do something about it! You know the definition of ‘crazy,’
right? It’s doing the same thing over and over and expecting
a different result. This is your chance to do something differently…and
get out of the Insane Asylum of Unsold Scripts! Many other
writers are doing it. Don't you deserve it too? Isn't it your
turn? Isn’t it your time? That is, unless you think
you have…
2. No time.
Working with
a consultant…and doing the necessary rewriting of your
script takes time. Sometimes lots of it. So I'm with you here.
But you know what, I make the time. And so do the successful
writers. They rewrite, get feedback, and rewrite some more.
And while you’re waiting for the analysis, you can get
busy on your next project! Time is a choice, not a limitation.
Who's in charge of your life, anyway?
3. No need.
If you’re
making all the money you want with your writing, then either
you've set your sites too low or you're lying. The bar can
always be lifted. I believe in doing what others think is
impossible. Even if you think your current success level is
fine (and I really doubt you do, or you wouldn’t be
reading this), you can always write better and sell more!
4. No interest.
If you've read
this letter to this point, then you're clearly interested
in knowing how to improve your script, your writing, and your
writing career. Some people say they aren't interested as
a way to cover-up a deeper excuse, often to hide the fact
that they don't have the money. Well, see #1 above. If you're
really not interested, why are you reading this?
5. No way.
This excuse covers
everything from "I resist sales pitches" to "I’ve
already taken enough classes and read enough books" to
"I already know all that." Yea, right. They're all
excuses. They’re coming from people not wanting to succeed,
and blaming others when they don't succeed.
If even Million-Dollar
Writers still get feedback from other professionals, don’t
you think maybe, just maybe, you still need to? I use a script
consultant on every script I write – sometimes more
than one!
Do you really
know all you need to know? Is your script really the best
it can be?
What's left?
Nothing. Unless
you just don’t want to take your writing career to the
next level.
Remember,
there is absolutely no risk for you to try us out.
So, what are you
waiting for?
Let’s get to work!
