Do I Really Need a Script Coach?

Experienced, working screenwriters get professional feedback all the time from their agents, managers, other writers and producers before they go to market with a new script.

What about unproduced screenwriters? Typically, unsold writers only get one chance to impress an individual agent or film executive. To make sure these opportunities are not wasted, some screenwriters use an experienced script coach to help them polish their script for the marketplace.

Script coaches take workshop techniques to the next level - the marketplace. Services vary among the different companies, but most include extensive script notes, phone conferences, and personal industry referrals. Script coaches can be expensicem but if your coach has legitimate industry credentials, they can become the professional referral all screenwriters need.
