When you get your #scriptcoverage back and every note feels like the reader somehow downloaded your thoughts directly, that’s when you know the feedback is working exactly as it should. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

Our #TVWriter Mentorship Program has wrapped, and writers gained experience, direct guidance from industry pros, and practical tools to elevate their writing careers. This year’s participants walked away with clearer direction, deeper insight, and the kind of support that fuels real creative growth.

Getting the right feedback can completely reshape your #screenplay, but knowing how to approach it is just as important as the notes themselves. Use these simple tips to navigate feedback with clarity, confidence, and a mindset that strengthens every draft you write. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

Each month, with the writer’s permission, we select one #screenplay for Verve’s to review and provide industry-focused notes. It’s an opportunity to see how the industry evaluates your story, and a learning tool for any writer looking to grow.

Sean Oliver, one of our Script Readers, breaks down why an active protagonist is essential and it’s the kind of clarity our readers look for when reviewing scripts. Strong goals, clear plans, and characters who drive the story forward can make all the difference. #scriptsky #scriptsky+

This is a little silly, but it's a moment I LOVE in the movie HARD TARGET (1993).

THE LONG SHOT

Two brothers on the run from a Canadian mobster take the reins in a New York gangster’s audacious scheme to fix the 1924 King's Plate.
