Proofreading. The least favorite word of many screenwriters.
You put so much time into writing your script. You outline. Then you outline again. You fret over your act breaks. You give your characters new quirks. You rewrite. You rewrite. You rewrite. And then one day, the script is done. Or is it? Your story's on the page, but is the readability?
Readability? That's right. Formatting. Spelling. Grammar. Punctuation. White space. Word choice. Used correctly, these elements make your script readable. Whether you've submitted your screenplay to a contest, a production company, an agent or a manager, it needs to flow. From the first header to the last word, the reader should stay engrossed in the story. If your writing elements or style distract the reader too many times, you've given him or her the perfect opportunity to put the script down and move on to the next item on a long to-do list.
Make sure your reader stays in the story by having your screenplay professionally proofread and edited before you submit it. It's time to get your script Reader Ready.
