Foundation Edit
Whether you’re completely new to screenwriting or a more “seasoned” writer wanting some very specific guidance on a project, the benefits of a “Foundation Edit” with B2W mean you won’t be wasting your time on rewriting drafts with “misfiring” central concepts, tropey characters or dodgy structure! B2W’s Foundation Edit will walk you through three stages:
• 1) Concept check (via log line first, then one pager).
• 2) First draft / notes, plus email support
• 3) Second read / feedback via email, plus Skype call
Uber-Edit!
If you have a specific goal in mind, such as getting your screenplay through a particular agent’s, company’s, competition’s or initiative’s door WITHOUT dropping all the “usual” clangers, then this could be the B2W service for you.
