The distinction between a script and a shootable script is a matter of arithmetic. Your script has 40 locations, a crowd scene with rain, in Act 1, and that’s going to earn your script an F in budgeting, creative writing notwithstanding.
Our writers determine what you can afford to pay before coming up with anything. They will then use where the ambition is apparent on the screen rather than the schedule. The script that fits your resources is the only truly important test.
The most interesting limitation you share with the writer concerns the single-location film. Because that is the apartment you have, your film belongs to a genre that has a lot of history and success, and a writer that knows that genre will be able to be original and write something in your limitations, rather than writing beyond them.
Generated film scripts are ridiculous. They shout “helicopter!!”, “need a stadium”, “forty extras”, “in nine countries!”, because there is no training data to show models expense breakdowns of scenes. Often, model AI will insert a fictionalized version of the USA into scripts. It’s as though they believe that our backyard is the only backyard that matters.
Production facts like shooting days, locations, cast size, and lead attachment help to craft a story and set the tone. The drafts come with a running location and character list to allow the producer to estimate the costs while the script is still in progress.
Your brief outlines three actors, one house and eleven shooting days. You’ll get that many days. Writers are well aware that if they go beyond the money allocated, it delays productions. So they’ll offer alternate suggestions that convey inexpensive high impact scenes at the outline stage that could satisfy your brief.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical film script | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short film (5-10 minutes) | 1,500 | $150 | $1.50 | $151.50 |
| Mid-length film | 8,000 | $800 | $8 | $808 |
| Feature-length film | 20,000 | $2,000 | $20 | $2,020 |
The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.
Anything from 100 words up. Because you pay by the word you are never buying padding to fill a package tier.
Yes. Tell us the volume and cadence and we keep the same writer on the account so the voice stays consistent. The rate does not change with volume.
That is usually the best way to start. Send photographs and any restrictions on noise, hours or access, and the writer builds scenes that use what the space is genuinely good for instead of fighting it later in the edit.
Yes. Send us your draft with notes included. A rewrite is priced per word we write, so a dialogue pass of an existing draft is much less expensive than a completely new draft. We can let you know which your script requires.
Completely. Copyright transfers to you on delivery, with no attribution requirement and no licence back to us. Nothing written for you is resold, repurposed or republished.

I described my vision of a happy ending. Now, I have their version in return which is quieter and more sad. They included an explanation, a reasoning behind their choice, and a way for me to have it my way by writing a different (happy ending) version if I prefer. I kept their original.
I couldn’t write it myself and had to ask for help two days before. It came the next morning looking plain and quiet with none of the words I was dreading. My aunt asked who wrote it and I said.
At a natural pace, the speech was about ninety seconds over the twelve minute mark. Editing it was simple because your structure was clear, but I shouldn’t have to. Our director called the content of your speech the best written thing that she has ever delivered.
We do not ask you to take the no-AI promise on trust. Each draft is run through these platforms and the reports are attached to your delivery email.
