Analysts

In Hollywood, most submissions are first read by a company’s “Readers.” Their analysis is then turned into a “Coverage Report”, and is often the only thing the company ever reads. This initial phase of the submission process can make or break a submission. At ScriptShark, our team of analysts is professional readers that take a step beyond a standard coverage report and provide notes that will help you grow as a writer.

Analyst Requirements

Read for two major companies in the past.: You are looking for a professional opinion and that’s what we provide. ScriptShark analysts must have experience at reputable companies.
Understand the fundamentals of Studio decisions.: Even more important than just having read for the studios, our analysts are put through a rigorous testing system to make sure they know the foundations of what makes a good screenplay.
Possess writing experience themselves.: We believe it’s difficult for a non-writer to critique the foundations of the material. In turn, ScriptShark only hires analysts that write themselves. Most of our analysts have written on assignment or had material optioned in the past.
Must enjoy screenplays of all genres.: While our analysts may have a preference for an individual genre, ScriptShark makes sure they enjoy and understand the mechanics of all films.
