See your script or novel the way studio executives might see it. (Our founder, Michael Ray Brown, has more than 25 years’ experience as a Union Story Analyst for seven major studios.) This analysis includes a cover sheet with a log line and a rating grid, followed by a one-page plot synopsis, and a comment running about three-quarters of a page.

It is not intended to provide ideas as to how it may be rewritten.
