 Pat offers script and screenwriting consultation, and script evaluation services.
If you would like to have your own screenplay personally evaluated by Pat Silver-Lasky, this service would include an autographed copy of Pat's screenwriting book Screenwriting for the 21st Century and suggestions for all areas of rewrites that would make your screenplay more marketable.
All scripts must be submitted in standard format using 12pt Courier typeface. Final Draft is a suggested format.
