Screenplay Proofreading

Spotting typos, spelling errors, and small formatting issues in your own script is difficult because your brain fills in and fixes any problems before you have a chance to notice them.

I can give your screenplay that final professional polish so that you can send it off with confidence to script readers, agents, and screenwriting contests. 

My screenplay proofreading rate is $2.00 per page.

Screenplays with larger formatting issues require a higher level of editing that I no longer offer. For this reason, I prefer to see the full script before taking on proofreading projects.

I can do a sample proofread of 5 pages if you’d like to get a feel for how I work.

Let's get started!

What does proofreading do for your screenplay?

  • Catches typos & extra or missing spaces
  • Finds spelling, punctuation, and capitalization errors & inconsistencies*
  • Fixes minor formatting issues*

Proofreading should be the last check of your script. It is not:

— Improving sentence structure, action description, or dialogue

— Ensuring proper screenplay format

— Finding redundancies and repetition

I work with FDX files only. 

*I use The Screenwriter’s Bible, The Chicago Manual of Style, and the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary as proofreading resources.
