Who Are The Best? I realize there are opinions for script consultants across the board. But please don’t give me all the reasons to stay away. I’ve done my due diligence and am moving forward. I could just really use your suggestions on who is likely one of the best. I’m only looking at very experienced resumes. Right now, I plan on using Linda Seger. Am I missing someone better? Thanks for your consideration!

Hey Lance, do you have a specific project or genre? That might be helpful in helping you find someone really solid.
I realize this is biased and self serving, but I run No Bullscript Consulting and I'm a damn good consultant. Im a former development exec, also a writer, I have worked with many Stage 32 writers, and while Linda is great, she will cost you about $2000 more than what most consultants charge. I dont think your script should cost as much as your rent. Happy to answer any questions you may have. good luck!

Linda is a great choice, Lance. Highly respected in the industry. There's also Mark Sanderson - https://fiveoclockblue.net/screenplay-consultation - and Lucy Hay - www.bang2write.com. I'd also recommend my good self (shock!). Take a look at my site - www.philmscribe.com - for more information on my background and what I do and feel free to ask any questions. Happy to chat.

In my view, you can't go wrong with anyone that is on the Stage 32 site (including contributors - looking at you Danny Manus!). I'm working on my new script (comedy with heart) and when it's ready, I'm coming here to find readers to give me their thoughts.

In Paducah, Kentucky? Skype, FaceTime, Phone.
I think hiring someone face to face is gonna be a hard ask for most people and I've never heard of any consult doing that. I agree it is desirable, but not often available. I haven't used anyone yet and there are some names here I have looked into. I really do want to at some stage. But I found a good friend who helps a lot. I think it helps to have more than one person's feedback.
I highly recommend Stage 32's Standard Coverage from an Industry Reader. I was well
rewarded for the small investment
