Installments are now available on selected services.

Cost for services has been kept at a minimum. I believe that every writer should have access to a professional consultant -- with money left over to pay for copies and postage :-)

I will not desert you after the evaluation or critique. I am always available to discuss your script and the changes that you plan to implement. I may be contacted by phone, e-mail, or both.

After you have revised your script, I will re-evaluate and advise for 10% off the initial fee/service.

Let's get that screenplay ready for market or contests! Simply choose the service you want and remit the fee through Paypal, or money order (contact me for address), and send the script through email in .doc or .rtf format. Work will commence immediately after payment has been received. Turnaround for evaluation or editing is one-three days.

"Margo was my screenwriting mentor. She worked closely with me for many years and taught me all the ins and outs of screenwriting and the movie industry. Thanks to Margo I have 2 produced screenplays under my belt and a 3rd film in pre-production as well as producer credit on each. I highly recommend Margo Prescott. She is a wonderful mentor and one of the nicest people you will ever meet in this crazy industry. April 13, 2009" ~J. Pizzo

Below are comments made by judges for the winning screenplay of a recent contest. I developed and wrote the script for a client based on his premise:

April 7, 2009

"COMMENTS: Our modern era is defined by the technology we use, technology that both enriches our lives and threatens our very existence. This tightly-wound suspense thriller pivots on the all-too-real scenario of medicine gone mad, and is an exciting platform to explore the intersection of corporate greed, bio-weapons proliferation, and the still tenuous relationship between the United States and Russia, nearly two decades after the end of the Cold War. The protagonist is a man caught up in something he never intended to be involved in, but who rises to the occasion when the duty of his conscience calls him to do so. The characters are multi-dimensional and enhanced by punchy, clever dialogue. A seat-of-your-pants third act provides some great action and an exciting and entertaining payoff to a well-structured plot, by characters intriguing, funny, and deadly all at once. DEATH WISH is a deft combination of themes all at once "Outbreak" and "Bourne" that turns our concerns over bio-terrorism into excellent fodder for action entertainment."
