The London Script Consultancy has a range of script consultancy services to help identify the strengths and weaknesses of your screenplay. In addition we can prescribe a full development programme to prepare your script for the commercial market place

WE PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING SERVICES:

4. TREATMENT ANALYSIS
A full analysis of your treatment is the best way to get to the heart of your story.

5. TREATMENT COMPOSITION
Do you have a great idea for a story? A treatment is the best way to develop a story idea before writing the full screenplay – as essential as architectural plans for the building of a house. Come to LSC for a private consultation.
> We will develop your project from idea through to the creation of a full 10-page treatment ready for submission to producers or funding bodies.

6. BOOK-TO-SCRIPT EVALUATION
Books are the most common source of non-original screenplays. The adaptation of a 300-page book into a 100-page screenplay is a complex and delicate business. LSC will help you by creating a detailed report.
> This includes exposing the main plotline, identifying the theme, deciding which characters and subplots to keep and which to drop.
> We also offer an expert, no-nonsense opinion on whether film companies would consider the adaptation worthwhile.

7. BOOK TREATMENT
We will write a detailed treatment summation of your book – an invaluable intermediary document necessary before the creation of a screenplay. It will allow you, the writer, or producer, to examine the story as a whole, and rise to the challenge of creating an exciting film story whilst keeping true to the author's original vision.

8. BOOK TREATMENT TO OUTLINE
We will develop a 1-2 page outline of your book treatment for its transformation into a screenplay. Creating the main plotline, identifying theme, high concept, developing essential characters and subplots.

9. SYNOPSIS COMPOSITION
When you submit your script to a film company or a funding body, it must be accompanied by a one-page synopsis. A winning synopsis will ensure that your script avoids the “immediate rejection” pile.
> We will write a professional synopsis to best present and sell your script to the people that matter.

10. TELEPHONE CONSULTATION
Do you have a great idea for a script but want to run it by an expert first?
> This 1 hour telephone brainstorming session allows you to discuss and develop your idea, focusing on what you need to know, major mistakes to avoid, and that all-important resolution, so that you can begin writing straight away.

11. ONE-TO-ONE SCRIPT DEVELOPMENT
There is no better way to perfect your script than through an intensive one-to-one session with a professional script consultant.
> This will enable you to streamline the development process and aim towards perfecting your script and market it to the appropriate buyer.
