Script work

I am looking for a screenplay supervisor that can look over my scripts and polish them, they must be industry level with experience. I have a seven episode mini series I would like done. Will pay.

This is something that you need to learn how to do yourself.

Most screenwriting is assignment work, and TV is usually staff work where your amazing pilot script gets you a coveted job as a writers assistant where you hope to get one of the two spec episodes per season and then climb your way up the ladder of shows and positions until you are a staff writer on a hit show, where they ask you if you have any show ideas... and you whip out that pilot script (more likely a brand new pilot using all that you have learned while climbing the ladder)...

So the problem with hiring someone to polish your script or any other outside service is that the script that they read is not entirely your work. Someone else "fixed it". And even if they only corrected the format or edited it to the proper length, the place that hires you expects you to have done that work yourself and know how to format and edit already... when someone else did that for you.

Writing is you alone in a room doing the work. You need to learn how to be completely self sufficient.
