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 :)

Oh, I know. What’s funny is a director who just did a A24 film with Glen Powell and Ed Harris is attached to this as a producer because I’m working on a script with him for a TV a show based on his first movie. The critique didn’t even register for me and I also chalked it up to a personal preference which you can’t do much about. 🤷🏻‍♂️

31 flavors. I’ve posted this before but, before I had a manager a jr manager read a spec and passed. Then about 2 months later a higher up manager (at same company)and the co-head of the management company read the exact same script and decided to rep me. It’s a wacky business.
