Quoted from Felipe
He said something along the lines of "payment within 7 days" if I did choose to go with the service.


Yeah, I got this same note a little while ago too.
Guess I assumed too soon!

Hmmm. Pondering mischief.

E.D.


And I'm pondering mischief no more.
Well... About that subject, anyway.

Went ahead and bought the half price service.
Since the script I'm submitting is a collab...
It's only gonna cost me 25% of Carson's usual fee!

Speaking of that...
For those wondering souls... Here's his current price structure --


3 pages of notes ($600) – I break down the 2-3 main issues with the script and offer solutions to those problems.  I also take a look at the main characters, breaking down each and offering ideas on how to improve them.  I finish with line-by-line notes for more specific scene and dialogue related problems. (total words ~2000)

5 pages of notes ($850) – I break down the 4-6 main issues with the script and offer solutions to those problems.  I take a look at the main as well as the key supporting characters, and break them down, looking for ways to improve them.  I finish with line-by-line notes tackling specific scene and dialogue related problems. The big difference with the 5 pager is that I have more room to offer creative ideas and solutions.  This is the option you want if you *really* want me to dig in deep to every aspect of your script. (total words ~3300).

Turnaround time – Turnaround time runs about 7 days at the moment, give or take a couple of days.

Rush rates – 72 hr/$100, 48 hr/$250, 24 hr/$400.

Phone call – Phone consultations are $60/˝ hr.

Payment – Payment is through credit card or Paypal.

Contacts – I have contacts at Universal, Silver Productions, ICM, WME, UTA, ATA, Verve, Benderspink, Anonymous, Kaplan/Perrone, Energy, Filmengine, The Gotham Group, as well as dozens of other mid-level and lower level producers and managers.  If a consult script I read earns a “double worth the read,” I will push it to my lower and mid-level contacts. If it receives an “impressive,” I will push it to my higher level contacts (which is how I helped Tyler Marceca get a WME agent and sell “The Disciple Program” to Universal).  Also, anything "double worth the read" or higher, I give you the option to have it reviewed on the site. The average number of consulting scripts I pass up to people is about 7%.  

At the very least, you get some awesome notes that will give you a better script and make you a better writer.  I hope to read your script but even if I don’t, keep writing and keep fighting the good fight!

Best,
Carson


So, I'll take those $600 notes for only $150 out of my pocket!
And of course I'll let the SS faithful know my feelings on his services.

Regards,
E.D.

I thought those prices were the half price. It's actually half of the prices he sent?

Taken directly from the e-mail Carson sent me...

Correct!  So far, nobody's claimed the number 2 spot.
So if you're interested, you got it.  
Here are my rates, which are, of course, half off for you.  
You can send the script whenever you want.  
It's just that the payment needs to be sent within 7 days.  


I think I interpreted this right.
My writing partner agreed with my interpretation.
So that was enough for me to sign on at that price.

Did you get a different e-mail there?

Regards,
E.D.

No, I got the same thing, but since everyone has always said he charges thousands of dollars for reads, I figured the price he gave was the half price.

I see where you're coming from, pal.
Well, if Carson asks for another $300 when I pay, I'll let you know.
Cuz I ain't paying no $600. LOL.
So, you can have my slot then, if you wish.

Just got the newsletter and took a peek at "She's Only 17" for the reason most people will look at that one first.

I don't buy it for a second that the guy has only been learning about screenwriting for 3 weeks.

Thanks for all your support on this. It looks like it hasn’t worked out for Kev or me.

There’s something poetically appropriate about two screenwriting friends competing for an opportunity that turns out to not exist. The best scene in the story would be the bit where they both find out their prize has been given to a small dog!

Does anyone know why the werewolves script got the AF slot?
I haven't even heard of it.
What the heckfire happened to the list of candidates he had us read last week?

Why did I spend a couple hours reading them and providing notes for then?

E.D.

Yeah, I don't believe that 3 weeks thing either.

My first short was actually just so bad that it would be torture for someone to read it again. If someone brand new to screenwriting bangs out a feature in 3 weeks, I really cannot see it being good. It really took me at least a few months to learn how to tell a coherent story.

Strange that Kev and Phil's script just seemed to disappear. Maybe Carson forgot about it?

On a side note, has anyone read Seuss? Really do think that's going to be the next big classic when produced, a special script.

He actually claims to have banged it out in 48 hours. That has been done, but not by a first time screenwriter. Not with proper formatting and all that good stuff.
