For Working Screenwriters

Bulletproof Your Spec.

The same rigorous structural and commercial framework applied to the canon — turned around on your own pages. Every consultation is a real, full studio-grade coverage report on your script. No notes about “character voice.” No vague platitudes. The exact mechanical, demographic, and pacing audits that determine whether a reader at an agency or studio passes you up before page 15.

This office considers fewer than twelve external engagements per fiscal year. Rates below reflect the exclusivity of the framework, the depth of the structural audit, and the time required to apply it with full rigor.

Frequently Asked

Who reads my script?

The Coverage Wonk personally — pen name Hunter G., Creative Affairs Division. Every report is written by the same reader who runs the public Index and authors the Retrospectives. No interns, no farm-outs.

Will my coverage be published on the site?

No. Private commissions are confidential — never published, never referenced. The public Index covers existing studio properties only.

What if you give my script a 3.4?

Then you got the same rating as Moonlight. That score reflects the brutality of the framework — not the script's actual artistic merit. The point is to surface the structural and demographic vulnerabilities a real studio reader will weaponize. You then make informed revision decisions.

Can you sign an NDA?

Yes. Standard mutual NDA available on request before submission.

Do you offer table reads, rewrites, or production?

No. Coverage and consultation only. The Wonk is a reader, not a producer or rewrite hand.
