Select by Script Stage

Think of the development process as the three acts of a good story.

act one: concept to first draft

You explore concepts, jot down ideas, a rough synopsis, a structural overview, you do research, you build characters. Next, all that rough info goes into a quick & dirty first draft. It’s about ‘getting it out’ and keeping your inspiration.

Option 1: Story Diagnosis ($99) = story session on synopsis/logline.
Option 2: Step Outline ($385) = story session on step outline.
Option 4: Script Notes ($495) = story, style, format.
Option 19: The Cave ($3,740) = private, 3-day workshop + Option 4.

act two: first to advanced draft

Act Two is the hardest and the longest. You struggle to stay on course and to find enough meat to feed your plot points. You may even have to go for a complete reversal, a change of direction for the story. Hard, heartbreaking but inevitable.

Option 6: Step Outline Build ($583) = S.O. build + (Option 2).
Option 12: 2nd Draft Pack ($1,485) = (Opt. 1) + 3x(Opt. 2) + (Opt. 4).
Option 19: The Cave ($3,740) = private, 3-day workshop + Option 4.
Option 17: Pro Pack ($5,940) = six months of intensive script coaching.

act three: advanced to final draft

You have enough plot points, enough rough diamonds. Nothing should change their order: you are ready to move into the last stage and turn the advanced into the final draft. You won’t write any new drafts, but revise your final draft.

Option 5: Polish ($528) = close reading, soft edit, notes on hard copy.
Option 7: Market Pack ($627) = polish, synopsis edit + logline.
Option 19: Final Draft Trim ($770) = hard edit, errors, style and pace.
