The first five seats are free. Then $299.95 a feature screenplay.
One First Draft Review is one complete read of one script. A one-time purchase: no subscription, nothing renews, nothing further to buy. Every seat — free or paid — is the complete product.
‘First Draft’ describes the role SRV plays — the first professional-style review before your next serious revision. Your script doesn’t have to be version one.
What a read costs
After the first five free seats
$299.95
One complete screenplay. One complete First Draft Review.
For feature screenplays generally targeting 90–120 pages.
Includes The Script Verdict, The Screen Elevation Brief, viewer-attention and drop-off analysis, page- and scene-specific findings, and professional craft and development analysis.
SRV opens to writers after its first outside reads. Nothing is for sale yet.
$199.95
One complete television script. Evaluated in its actual television lane.
For television pilots and standalone teleplays.
Includes The Script Verdict, The Screen Elevation Brief, viewer-attention analysis, television structure and series-engine analysis where applicable, and page- and scene-specific findings.
The television lane opens soon. Until it does, no television seat is sold and no television script is read.
$99.95
Each further episode of a series you established with a pilot review. The Episode Review is $99.95 — never a free seat. It is sold only to the writer whose pilot review opened that series: before any charge, the episode’s title page must name the show and its main cast must overlap substantially with the record’s. How SRV knows an episode belongs to your series →
You keep the script. The Script Reader's Verdict identifies what is happening on the page, explains why it matters on the screen, and gives you options for elevation. You decide what changes.
Different price. Same professional standard. Different job. Television is never the discounted read: it costs less because a television script is normally shorter and runs through its own lane.
How the ladder works
One button, and the house decides. When SRV opens, press the seat button at the door: while any of the first five seats is left, you give your name and your email and the seat is yours, free — one free seat for each writer. When the five are gone, the same button takes you to checkout for a Feature Film — First Draft Review seat at $299.95. The door shows what is left when you arrive.
Who you buy from, and how payment works
The Script Reader's Verdict is sold by Loving My Words: the seller of record, the name on your receipt. Payment is taken by Stripe, our payment processor; your card details go to Stripe and never to this website. After payment you return to the door, where your seat code is shown.
What happens next
Your seat code appears on your screen once. Press Copy or Save my code, tick “I’ve saved my seat code”, and press Continue to my read. To sign in, now or any time later: Come back to srv.lovingmywords.com/door, paste your seat code in the box at the top, and press Sign In.
There is nothing to download and nothing to install: sign in, answer the questions, upload your screenplay as a PDF, and begin.
The complete read, or your money back
We guarantee that your entire script is read — every page, FADE IN to FADE OUT, in order. If the read cannot be completed on our side, you are told plainly and a paid seat is refunded in full. A script the door turns away at upload — not in English, over 125 pages, a television script while that lane is closed, or a file it cannot read — is turned away before anything is spent, and your seat is kept for the right file.
The refund promise is set out in full on our Refunds page, and that page governs.
Writing in another language? It’s coming.
Today The Script Reader's Verdict reads scripts written in English. Native-language reads are coming soon, and each language opens only once it has been proven on real screenplays written in it. If you would like to hear the moment yours opens, write to us: support@lovingmywords.com.
