EVALUATION
One analyst reads your ENTIRE script and delivers a
written
evaluation to you (see
sample evaluation). We will make our best efforts to complete the
reading and
evaluation within two weeks from date of submission.
If your work receives a recommend, we invest our time in
YOU by having a second analyst read, evaluate and critique your work at no
additional cost to you.
If both analysts recommend your work, our company's
producer will determine if the script is exceptional as is. If so, Script
Viking might decide to represent it with no further development. If our
company's producer determines that your script needs further development,
Script Viking will offer you the opportunity to work with our creative
development team. (See
Development).
Even if you don't receive a recommend, our analysts --
through their positive and helpful critiques -- will have provided
creative guidance that should help move you closer to your ultimate goal
of writing a script that is worthy of development and production.
However, our
evaluation
form rates the writer as well as the story, and it's quite possible
that our analysts don't like your story but are impressed with your style
and form. In this case, we will recommend you to Studios, TV Networks,
Independent Production Companies or a specific series as a developer or
episodic writer.
You can also choose to have two or three evaluations of
the same script. Many production executives believe this gives a writer a
more balanced critique. They say: “If you just have one critique, you
might give it such a sense of importance it might take your own sense of
judgment away from you.”
