Before the contests. Before the queries. Before the expensive coverage.

The Read Before

Get notes to pressure-test your script, based on real industry process. Go through development to greenlight. All in one place.

The real industry process

Before you send it out, see how it holds up.

The Read Before is built to simulate the reads your screenplay will face on its way to getting made — modeled on real industry development and informed by 15+ years of professional experience.

Start with an initial read, get comprehensive industry notes. Then, after you revise your draft, generate follow-up reads that measure whether the script is actually improving. Not just different — stronger.

Private, specific, built around the creative process, and generating your notes within minutes — The Read Before delivers honest feedback that helps writers think more deeply, rewrite more effectively, and send out better drafts.

Before you query agents and managers, before you submit to competitions or script-ranking sites, before your script goes to any decision-makers, use The Read Before to make sure the draft you send isn’t raw. That it’s ready.
