SCRIPT COVERAGE &
DEVELOPMENT NOTES
by Maggie Scudder
Pilots • Sketches • Features • Fellowship Applications
Most script coverage tells you what happened in your script. My notes focus on why something is or isn’t working and how to strengthen it while preserving your voice.
Every project receives thoughtful, actionable feedback designed to help you move your work toward its next draft, submission, or production.
All feedback is provided in writing via email.
Standard turnaround: 5–8 business days.
No phone or Zoom notes at this time.
If you require a special exception to written feedback or any of the pricing below please reach out! Pending availability, I’m able to make some exceptions for BIPOC and Neurodivergent creators.
