Although our main function
here is script consultation and developmental services like our Works
in Progress program (ie: WIP),
there is an occasional request for assistance beyond
this, namely actual writing from our end. This need is not atypical
at all. Sometimes writers
just need a little relief from the bullpen. In Hollywood
an occasional change of horses is business as usual. In TV for example
there are large
staffs that rewrite each other every day.
Most of the time we have chosen not to heed to this call
(for various reasons) and it's not part of our agenda
to be involved in "partnerships". However, we have and do accept writing
jobs once in a while as GHOSTWRITERS. In such cases, we do everything
from rewrites to polishes – and have even redrafted an act or
a section of a given script in order to demonstrate what
we hope is a higher level of effectiveness. This can
be inspiring in creating a
better aesthetic direction for the original writer re
the balance of the script.
Please be advised that this service can be an intensive
effort and does not come cheaply. Cost obviously depends
upon the amount of work involved and issues of credit
or future financial
rewards (if the material is produced) are relative to
the specific job. (In most cases we remain ghostwriters
in the truest sense: anonymous uncredited helpers, where
whatever you get from this is yours, we simply fade back
into the sunset. If, however, there is major rewriting
involved and reworking of entire storylines, character
reinvention etc. we reserve the right to negotiate, in
advance of the gig, of course.)
Judy does the writing, Craig serves as the consultant
on the job and the writer temporarily becomes a producer/writer
in effect with the full right to be consulted and approve
in advance proposed changes and also to give comments
on the material that is produced.
This service is not for everyone, but can be very valuable
in certain cases. As mentioned, more often than not,
we are only interested in a simple fee for services rendered.
(please note:
we do charge for the time involved to go over your material
if you want us to do this assessment etc). Please contact
us if you would like further details.
