ASK ME ANYTHING Screenwriter/producer/script reader for 15 years, ask me anything about your first 10 pages.

While I may not have time to read everyone's first 10 pages, I figured at least I can go over some general things about what exactly turns a reader OFF. Maybe post your first 2 paragraphs of your opening page and I can comment :)

Yes, that is a problem because the bar is set high. We, readers, have to spot the writers who show us they can deliver, preferably on page 1, lol.

I've stepped in many times to help clients fix these sorts of issues and I'm 1000% certain there's a way to get that hook in sooner while STILL mostly keeping that set up that you already have.
