Television is architecture. A pilot has to create a world, insert act breaks about every ten minutes, bring six characters to people’s minds and have a story that can go for ninety more episodes.
The last part is what distinguishes a TV script from a film script, so we’ll consider that from the first conversation about your idea rather than addressing it at page forty.
Most pitches are the makings of a movie. To turn this into television, the writer has to find the engine of the story. This is the motivation for characters to be in the same room every week and the possible stories that situation creates. We will note if by episode four the engine runs out. Then we would not suggest funding a full season of the show.
Generated TV scripts end episodes. Every problem is resolved and there are no characters with lingering issues. Act breaks occur on the beats that would keep viewers engaged through commercial breaks. Since written episodes have no plan for future episodes, the model has no reason to protect the series.
We track one page pitches, beat sheets, and outlines all before writing anything. This is the structure used by most writers rooms. A, B, and C stories are each tracked individually so that every story has a beginning and ending in every episode. Feedback is given regarding page count and target running time, all throughout the process.
To start, the Polish pass consists of act-outs. Is each ‘break’ something that a viewer will sit through a commercial for? Dialogue gets a pass for character voice. Next, the script is read aloud and timed. Passages of the script are evenly trimmed. Instead, bulky passages that repeat the same narrative are removed.
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 TV script | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sitcom episode (22 minutes) | 5,000 | $500 | $5 | $505 |
| Drama episode (44 minutes) | 9,500 | $950 | $9.50 | $959.50 |
| Pilot plus series bible | 14,000 | $1,400 | $14 | $1,414 |
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.
Yes, for portfolio and competition use. The writer defines the structure and voices of the characters and specs the show. We just want to make sure you understand that a spec of a show you do not own can only be used as a sample and can never be used to sell or produce the spec.
Yes, purchasing the bible and the script together is a cost-effective solution. A bible is a summary of the series’ episodes in the form an executive can read in ten minutes, and writing the bible side by side with the script ensures their both accurate.

My voicemails have bordered on the rambly side while my sentences have been fragmented. Your speech has referenced four of my voicemails, and you even quoted them verbatim. Granted, you didn’t even touch the other voicemails and sentences. This blatant disregard is how you should prioritize and frankly is the ratio you should have.
For my dad’s eightieth, I wanted him to have a short story written based on an old famliy vacation from 1974. I was not expecting a literary masterpiece since I just needed something to read to the family after dinner. However, there is a part where he breaks a deckchair and I didn’t even include that and it is just perfect.
The tribute was heartfelt, but came close to ten minutes when I delivered it (I was supposed to stick to six). I removed it a night before because there wasn’t time to edit. Undoubtedly, it was my fault for putting it off. The words, however, were just right.
