Anonymous    785857 Mon, 15 Oct 07 10:11 PM Any recommended script consultants legitimate, worth their fee, credible? I plan on hiring a script/screenplay consultant once I get my first draft written, possibly sooner. I would like to find a consultant that is worth their fee, one that is credible, etc. R Anonymous

	Ron    785908 Tue, 16 Oct 07 12:51 AM "Scott the Reader" who posts at the blog http://alligatorsinahelicopter.blogspot.com/ offers, when he has time, his $60 script note service. He writes you coverage as if he were hired to cover the script for a producer or studio (which is his day job.) He charges you what he charges them. Worth it? That's up to you. But he's honest, and not trying to rip you off. I wouldn't say we're bosom buddies, but we're friends. We've been to each other's houses. He's a nice guy. -Ron Ron Countries, Friendships, Relationships, France, Friends

Go to www.moviebytes.com and look under contests and you'll find James Ossi, who's won about 35 contests (my client), and Anita Skibski who won the American Scriptwriters Association contest last year (my client). I barely do it any more. Also on the east coast there's a guy who was a producer of Sat. Night Live who's very very good, name escapes me now. I cover them all in the Ultimate Writers Guide to Hollywood. Screw all the cheapies, $60, and way too expensive (Richard Walter $5000). Skipper Countries, United States, American

"Is the Saturday Night Live guy perhaps Craig Kellem? I've used him. He spent extra time with me on the ... script had nothing big wrong with it, but there was a lot of little stuff...which added up! W : )" Yeah, it's Craig and Judy. He puts out a good newsletter, too. Thanks for jogging my memory - http://www.hollywoodscript.com Here's Flaxman - http://www.deepfeedback.com And Pilar http://www.onthepage.tv As for me - find me! Ha. Skipper

Yeah, back then you didn't post the same thing twice. ;-) "Melody Jackson is available here: http://www.smartgirlsprod.com/ Tell her I sent you, and you probably won't get anything, however, she might remember that she knows me :)" Tell her Batman sent you.

"I must admit, newbie that I am, it seems odd to me that many of these highly paid "how to ... videos are all about shoot me a vowel, I am clueless why she has those videos on her site. R" I've sold feature scripts, never had one made. That's because I don't care. I do magazines, write articles, write books and novels, plays, some TV shows, videos, whatever. Long as I'm paying the bills and my kids are happy, I'm fine. I prefer writing books and novels any day. But a lot of these consultants are people who are READERS who started out that way and have never written a script. I've reviewed them all in my Hollywood advice books. If someone's never written a script and they're telling me how to write a script, I think it's bogus. I don't care how many goofball wannabes think they're great. I think it's bogus that Richard Walter charges $5000 to read a script yet God knows the last time he sold one or was paid to write one. He hits up everyone of his students at UCLA for the $5000 though, from the ones who've come to me. If someone's written and sold stuff, and hopefully is currently involved in getting things to people in Hollywood, I give them a lot more credence. Call me prejudiced.
