Speedy Script Program: Elevate, sell, and connect scripts to professionals.
Program Frequently Asked Questions & Terms & Conditions!
How does the coverage work?
Jacob Stuart and one of our top readers will both review your script, combining their feedback into a comprehensive 15+ page report. Scripts receive a rating of "pass," "consider," or "recommend." If your script receives a "pass" rating, we'll invite you to apply our notes and edits and resubmit without additional charge. Regardless of your rating, you will have a one-hour consultation with the SS founder via Zoom to discuss improving your script for today's market. Those who receive a Consider or Recommend rating advance to the next phase.
Query Letter Assistance, Pitch Deck, & Marketing:
Once your script is finalized, we will craft a personalized query letter tailored specifically for industry professionals. This includes alternate loglines, a compelling synopsis, and a professional introduction and bio. As part of your package, we also provide six essential pitch deck sections—designed to help you present your project with clarity and impact. After this is completed, you’ll have a follow-up Zoom session with Jacob to review everything, from presentation tips to strategic marketing across email and social platforms. In addition, Jacob will offer insider pitching insights—both within and beyond Screenwriting Staffing—and guidance on how to fully leverage your premium membership, including mock interviews, branding tools, and more.
When will my query be pitched?
Once your query letter is complete, we’ll begin by distributing your script to over 3,500 verified industry professionals in our network. From there, most communication will take place via email. Jacob will personally help you revise your resume to better align with paid writing opportunities available through Screenwriting Staffing’s Premium Membership. He’ll also recommend the best contests for your specific script—at no additional cost. In addition, Jacob will leverage his own extensive network of collaborators, past partners, and professional contacts to create further pitching opportunities. We aim to begin the initial pitching phase within the first 7 days of the program, ensuring momentum is built quickly.
What benefits come with the premium membership?
The Premium Membership serves as the cornerstone of our platform—an essential tool for serious screenwriters looking to break into the industry or take their career to the next level. With this membership, you gain exclusive, insider access to a curated network of producers, production companies, managers, agents, and executives actively seeking screenwriters for hire, or looking to option and purchase compelling scripts across all genres. Whether you're hoping to get staffed, land paid writing assignments, selling scripts, or secure a development deal, the Premium Membership is your direct pipeline to real opportunities. Best of all, it opens the door to representation possibilities, putting you and your work in front of the gatekeepers who matter most. This isn’t just access—it’s visibility with purpose.
What are the perks of the custom Social Media Branding Kit?
The Social Media Branding Kit is designed to help screenwriters present themselves professionally across platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. It includes tailored bios, industry-relevant taglines, optimized profile intros, and posting guidance to help you attract producers, reps, and collaborators. It ensures your online presence reflects your voice, genre, and goals—making you stand out in a competitive industry.
My Resume:
Screenwriting Staffing has observed over a decade of successes that most industry professionals are hesitant to open attachments from unfamiliar writers. We also recognize that your resume essentially serves as a sample script, showcasing your talents. That's why SS crafts the ideal "email resume" for you to utilize when applying for job opportunities. This format is both comprehensive and quick to read, maximizing your chances of securing a position. If you're inclined towards a traditional resume, we can provide that in lieu of the email resume.
Program Duration:
The entire process takes approximately 3 weeks, depending on your script’s quality and your availability. After the first month, we can no longer guarantee expedited service as part of the program. However, Jacob remains committed to your success well beyond that window—continuing to work with you behind the scenes to generate real results. The sole purpose of this program is to position you—and your script—for tangible industry traction, whether that’s in the form of paid writing gigs, script options/sales, or representation.
Post-Program Follow-up:
Even after the program concludes, Jacob will remain available to discuss your script's progress. While he can't provide legal advice, he's eager to offer guidance based on his extensive industry experience, including contract reviews. If necessary, he can recommend expert entertainment attorneys. The post-program follow-up will only be done by email.
What to Expect:
By the end of our Speedy Development Program, you'll walk away with more than just a polished, market-ready script and a compelling query letter—you’ll have the tools, strategy, and industry connections needed to truly break into the business. We don’t just send your material out and wish you luck; we introduce you to real industry decision-makers, providing a clear path toward paid writing opportunities, options/sales, and potential representation.
With the newly added bonuses—including personalized branding consultation, a custom social media branding kit, budget breakdown guidance, mock interviews, and complimentary entry into a top-tier screenwriting contest—you’ll be equipped to present yourself as a professional screenwriter from every angle. Jacob, the founder of Screenwriting Staffing, personally guides you through every step, sharing critical insights that merge creative development with real-world business strategy. His hands-on involvement ensures you're not just writing—but building a career. With everything we offer, we’re confident no other online program delivers this level of personalized, results-driven support.

Any Success Stories?
Before launching the service on September 19, 2023, Jacob and the Screenwriting Staffing team conducted a trial. We aimed to gauge the impact of merging our services and offering personalized assistance to writers. In this preliminary phase, we collaborated with two screenwriters. As anticipated, both screenwriters achieved significant successes with our help! Kathy Muraviov of The Muraviov Company decided to REPRESENT Phyllis Corley's made-for-TV drama screenplay, EVOLVEMENT. Additionally, Nick Montalvo from Riveting River Entertainment OPTIONED Laura Guy's screenplay titled REMEMBER I LOVE YOU. Laura also secured placements in three contests, including the Reno-Tahoe Screenplay Contest, which we recommended and provided her a complimentary entry.
