About me / Writing fees

__________________

Note

My prices are going up a notch in 2010. This will effect feature screenplays only.

In addition to writing original work, I am available to write feature and short screenplays per your concept, edit or rewrite existing work, or help you develop an idea. I am also available to write treatments, synopses,  and coverage.

FEES

· I charge $60.00 in US dollars to write short screenplays up to 20 pages, and a dollar per page after (30 pages = $70.00).

·  Features are negotiable, and we can discuss options that are amicable for both parties. If this is your first feature (and / or film), I like to receive $175.00 to write the first draft. The final draft is available for an additional $50.00 (because some folks just need or want the first draft). If you are an established filmmaker, we can discuss working on spec.

·  If I work as a ghost writer, I double the cost since I won’t receive other credits.

·  I charge $50.00 for a treatment up to 20 pages, and $15.00 to write a three act synopsis.

·  In addition, I work as a script reader and consultant. I charge $20.00 to read and comment on a short screenplay up to 50 pages, and $50.00 for anything more, including a feature length script. My comments are thorough and chalk full of examples and suggestions.

·  I require a 75% deposit to begin work, payable via PAYPAL.
