Script Consultation
Professional feedback on your screenplay
If you have already started writing a screenplay, receiving professional feedback can be one of the most valuable steps in the development process.
The Script Consultation service is designed to provide focused analysis and constructive feedback on your work so you can better understand the strengths of your story and identify areas that may need improvement.
Before our meeting, I will read up to 25 pages of your screenplay and prepare notes that we will discuss during our session. The conversation will focus on helping you clarify the dramatic structure of your story and offering practical suggestions for moving forward.
During the consultation we may explore topics such as:
Story structure and narrative progression
Character motivation and dramatic goals
Conflict and stakes
pacing and narrative rhythm
Clarity of theme and tone
If you would like feedback on your complete screenplay, a Full Script Reading can be added prior to the consultation.
The goal of this session is not only to identify issues, but to provide clear direction so you can approach your next draft with confidence.
Ideal for
- Writers with a first draft of a screenplay
- Writers who feel stuck in the middle of a script
- Filmmakers preparing a project for development
- Creators seeking professional feedback before rewriting

What to expect?
When you book a consultation, you receive more than just general feedback. Each meeting is designed to provide focused analysis and practical guidance that helps move your project forward.
Your consultation will include:
Professional feedback on your story or screenplay
Analysis of structure, character and conflict
Practical suggestions for rewriting or development
Discussion of narrative possibilities and creative direction
Answers to your specific questions about the project
All sessions last up to 90 minutes and take place online, allowing enough time to explore your story in depth and identify clear next steps.
The goal is not only to evaluate the material, but to help you understand how your story can become a stronger and more compelling film narrative.

Working together is simple. The process is designed to give you clear feedback and practical guidance so you can continue developing your story with confidence.

Depending on the service, you may send a story idea, outline, or pages from your screenplay in advance. This allows me to review your material and prepare notes before our meeting.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
1. What languages do you work in?
Most of my work is done in Spanish, but I can also conduct sessions in English if needed.
2. How long are the sessions?
All sessions last up to 90 minutes and take place online via Zoom or Google Meets.
This format allows enough time to explore your project, discuss storytelling challenges, and identify practical steps for the next stage of development.
3. Do you read my script before the session?
For Script Consultation and Script Development Program sessions, I will read up to 25 pages of your screenplay before our meeting.
If you would like feedback on your entire script, you can add a Full Script Reading prior to the session.
4. What is a Full Script Reading?
A Full Script Reading is an optional add-on if you want feedback on your complete screenplay before the consultation.
This allows me to review the entire script and prepare more comprehensive notes for our session.
5. What should I prepare before our session?
It depends on the service you book.
You may bring:
a short description of your story idea
a treatment or outline
a partial or complete screenplay
specific questions about your project
The clearer your questions are, the more productive the session will be. But the most important thing to bring, is always possitive energy and your best attitude.
6. Will you rewrite my script?
The consultation and development sessions focus on analysis, feedback and guidance rather than rewriting.
If you are looking for a professional writer to develop a screenplay, you may inquire about the Scriptwriting service.
7. How far in advance should I book a session?
I offer a limited number of sessions per week, so availability may vary.
Booking in advance is recommended, especially if you are working with a deadline or preparing a project for a lab, festival or production.
8. Can I book multiple sessions?
Yes. Some services are designed to work as a series of sessions, especially when developing a screenplay over time.
If you want ongoing guidance while writing or rewriting a script, the Script Development Program may be the best option.
9. What happens after I book a session?
Once your session is confirmed, you will receive instructions on how to send your materials (if needed) and a link for our meeting.
Materials should typically be sent a few days before the session so I have time to review them.
10. Do you offer refunds or cancellations?
Sessions can be rescheduled with reasonable notice.
If you need to cancel or change your appointment, please contact me as soon as possible.
