THE GOAL
The purpose of the story and character development process is KEY to ensure that all NEW projects, either for TV or film, meet all of Hollywoods strict professional writing standards -- BEFORE THE WRITING BEGINS. This development process is used by the best professional writers to ensure that all KEY story and character elements are present -- BEFORE the project is written as a completed first draft. This process saves the writer and the client money and time by eliminating any structural, story or character developoment problems later on, which can lead to costly rewrites. Most importantly; the story and character development process ensures that ALL NEW writing project have what it takes to succeed in a highly competitive TV and film writing market.
THE PROCESS & GETTING STARTED
During the story development process, the client works directly with the screenwriter to over the phone to discuss and agree on all the key elements of the story requires. This includes the careful selection of the main and secondary characters, the settings, the theme/genre as well as the story structure and tone.
TIME PERIOD & WRITING CONTRACT
There is a total of ten one-hour long phone consultation sessions (Mon-Friday EST) between the screenwriter and the client to accomplish this development goal. NOTE: All story development services are done through the phone and are accompanied by written contract provided to the client by the writer. All signed contracts state that the client owns all the rights to the new project and not the hired screenwriter, Suzanne Gillis. The story development process takes approximately 2-3 months to complete.
AFTER THE STORY DEVELOPMENT
After the story development process is completely, there will be more discussions about hiring the screenwriter to write the first draft of the completely project based on the completed story development outlines. This requires an additional writing fee of $8-10K based on the specific project and the signing of an additional contract. The new project will then be written by the screenwriter in FINAL DRAFT software as either a feature film (up to 120 pages) or as a one hour pilot episode (60 pages) for a new TV Series. Once the writing is completed, it is emailed to the client as a PDF or Final Draft file, which takes approximately 2-3 months to complete by the writer.
