$25-50 AUD / hour

Hi, my name is Michael. No, I do not need to go to AA... YET. I live in Melbourne and am almost halfway through a low residency MFA in T.V. and Screenwriting. I am need of a mentor and/or editor. Preferably both. Currently I'm in the rewrite stage of a screenplay, trying to make act 4 work in an hour long pilot and have a number of short films that need polishing. Deadlines are the beginning of May. This is really a dual role as somehow I always manage to miss my own typos but can find them on anything else I read. Although my formatting is at a high level, tips on industry standards is also welcome. My preference is someone who has either retired from T.V., between shows, or looking to pick up some extra cash while they are working on their Oscar winning screenplay.

Hi Michael, I was very interested when I saw your project when I saw it pop up this morning. I want to be honest with you and say that I am not in a position right now to assist with the editing, as I currently have a large project I am undertaking. With that said, I wanted to reach you to you to offer my services as a proofread for your screenplay once the editing process is finished. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with Nick Pollack (name dropping here...not sure if you have heard of him but he is an Australian Director/Writer), just to give you one name. A short while ago I undertook the proofreading of his book-adapted screenplay "Any Girl Who Loves the Beatles is Bound to Break Your Heart". It was an exciting project to work on and reminded me that I enjoy this genre, and was pleased to be a part of the process. I appreciate that at this stage you are looking for an "all signing, all dancing" editor/screenwriter to assist you with this part of the process, but if I can help going forward, don't hesitate to drop me a message..... I'm rushing out the door as I type to pick up my Oscar!!! Hope to hear from you. Best regards. Steffie

Hi Michael, I am a native English speaker living in the UK, and I would be pleased to edit your screenplay. I have never been involved in TV, but I read a lot of ebooks and online texts, and I always manage to spot typos. I read a wide variety of fiction including crime and romance, and some non-fiction too. I have previous proofreading and editing experience; My longest project was editing the English translation of an autobiographical novel. Most recently, I have proofread an academic paper on psychology, and a company's proposal for implementing better computer security. I am interested in gaining experience of proofreading a wide range of texts. You may send me a sample for me to correct and send back to you, so that you can see the quality of my work. I look forward to hearing from you, Tara.

I'm a screenwriter who is looking to earn some extra cash. I work on TV and Cinema. I've written screenplays, treatments and, recently, worked as a Script Doctor to a prestigious producer of my country (a job which had to be done in less than a week). I'm available to revise your material if you want me to.

Hi Michael. I'm a Michael too, and I live just across the pond, in New Zealand. No veteran Oscar winner, sadly, though I hope one day to be such. I have studied at the London Film School, working with guest lecturers like Mike Leigh, Tony Grisoni, and William Nicholson. I've done a couple of short films for hire (and credit/exposure, for which read: for free), but have mostly been doing theatre and publishing short stories here in Kiwiland. I've also spent some time interning at a film production company, where critiquing and summarising submitted screenplays was part of my duties. A particular feather in my cap was having a script of mine selected for presentation at the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Forum at the BAFTA theatre in London. So, that's some of my accreditation. As an LFS student and freelance writer I've had to develop a good critical and editorial eye for my own work and that of colleagues. I'd love to see if we can work together. Thanks for reading!
