Testimonials

"I recently hired Elisa / Reader Ready to proofread a screenplay I'm sending out soon. Prior to the hiring, I thought the script was solid, as I had gone over it several times. I'm not afraid to say I was wrong ... and relieved. Elisa caught every error, from grammatical to screenplay format to typos. I've been writing screenplays for years, and the screenplay format errors she pointed out actually refreshed my memory on some minor things I'd forgotten over the years. Her delivery system worked very well for me, because I received a PDF of my screenplay with the errors highlighted and the corrections embedded for easy review. This made cleaning up the screenplay in Final Draft an extremely efficient and FAST process. I can say, without a doubt, that I will never send out another screenplay without Elisa proofreading it first. I'm hoping that she expands her service to other forms of writing. Excellent work and exceptional customer service.”

"For two reasons, I am a bit apprehensive recommending Reader Ready. First, because I felt like I ripped Elisa off. The amount of work she did on my screenplay was unbelievable. She not only took care of all of my grammar and spelling issues, but also made positive contributions to my sentence structure, formatting issues, readability and even the story itself. Second, I'm very concerned that if too many people find out about this, she won't have time for mine. The level of communication was incredible. I knew exactly when my script would be finished and, once back on my desk, Elisa was available to offer more help as needed. Parting with my hard-earned cash is difficult for me. Parting with this money was the easiest thing I ever did, and I actually look forward to sending my next one."

"Thorough. I really appreciate the attention to detail Elisa shows in her PDF notes. Though I didn’t agree with every suggested change, if it was actually up for debate (99.9% were totally spot on), I really appreciated her well-thought out and important suggestions on even the seemingly minor points. Great line-by-line proofreading. She even drew attention to several key story issues, though she’s not technically a coverage service. Elisa obviously knows her stuff about screenplay format and speaks from modern practical experience, unlike a lot of screenwriting books-- which can be outdated and all over the place on how to use slugs, whether to call camera direction, etc. I know my writing will improve from her shared and useful insight…and stand a greater chance at moving up the chain…a real benefit to working or aspiring screenwriters who truly want to get their material ‘reader ready’ or ready for contest submission. Highly recommended and a very valuable service at exceptional rates with fast turnaround times."

"So I sent in my script, just in case, thinking it contained very few typos, having checked and double-checked it. Was I wrong. Elisa spotted at least thirty typos the spell checker of my word-processor skipped. But there's more. Elisa added a few script notes, here and there, and discovered: A) A weakness at the end of the second act. B) Two obscure and confusing story passages. C) A little story hole I didn't even notice in the third act. Before Reader Ready, I looked at my script like some kind of "instinctual" thing, without seeing it much in the way of a logical framework. I learned from Elisa that there is a specific framework on which the script relies - its words, of course. It's the phrases and the grammar which dictate the rules to building the framework. Thank you, Elisa."

"I spent three days combing books and websites in order to craft the perfect query letter. I even posted it on peer review websites to get feedback and suggestions to tighten it up just a little more. I wanted it perfect! Then I sent it to Elisa to make sure there were no errors. A few hours later, I received a complete new query letter that really was perfect! It was so much better than the one I had agonized over for days that it was almost embarrassing. For $25.00, I could have saved hours of work to begin with. From now on, Reader Ready is my first (and last) step. "

"Thank you so much for the work you did on the script. It's amazing how many typos and mistakes were there considering how much I've pored over every page of this thing. Also, thank you for your story notes. I will definitely be using you again and will recommend your services to anyone and everyone I know. It is far and away worth every cent. "
Phil Garcia

"Reader Ready makes a writer ready. When your six degrees of separation to a Hollywood connection seems more like a hundred degrees, your initial impression is everything. A query letter is like a first kiss, don't blow it. Reader Ready was easy, fast and effective.

Thank you, Elisa."

P.S. Don't ever, ever, ever send out your script if it hasn't been proofed. Ever.
