This service is for writers who are already familiar with screenplay formatting rules, but want to make sure everything is applied consistently, their writing style doesn't bloat the script, and that individual sentences and paragraphs are polished, professional, and conducive to an efficient, easy read.
You'll submit your full pilot or feature script as a Final Draft .FDX file, and your line editor will comb through line by line to make sure your pages are as clean a read as possible. This includes proofreading as well as fixing formatting, syntax, grammar, consistency and redundancy issues. The editor will only rework what's necessary to ensure nothing distracts from your story and voice.
The changes will be made directly in your screenplay file and returned to you within 3 weeks, but the changes will be annotated so that you can see what's different.
* If English is not your first/primary language, or if you do not have Final Draft as your screenwriting software but would like to use our Line Editing service, email terra@roadmapwriters.com.
"Proper formatting is the only aspect of screenwriting that is easy to master quickly. So if that's not on the page, how can your reader trust that you've mastered the more difficult story elements?"
~ Audrey Knox, Manager at The Cartel
The changes will be made directly in your screenplay file and returned to you within 3 weeks, but each of the changes will be annotated so that you can see exactly what's different.
* If you do not have Final Draft as your screenwriting software, you already know you tend to struggle with grammar rules, or you are still learning about the basics of formatting but would like to use our Line Editing service, email terra@roadmapwriters.com for a custom quote.
