One of the stepping stones to a coveted place in the TV writer’s room is the role of Script Coordinator. This is a highly technical job that isn’t often taught in schools, and the specifics need to be closely examined as the position is defined by the details. A Script Coordinator is the liaison between the writers and production departments, so it requires well-rounded knowledge of production, a certain level of expertise in Final Draft, and communication with a wide variety of people both inside and outside the Writer’s Room. This is a very important job on any TV show, and if you know how to do it well, you become an invaluable commodity to Showrunners and producers.
The key to being a successful Script Coordinator is paying close attention to detail. Script Coordinators are responsible for proof-reading scripts, tracking story changes and revisions, formatting, and distributing to every department on the show. It is also important to be well-versed in Final Draft before starting the position, as using this program is almost your entire job. Being on top of changes from draft to draft and spotting script errors is also key, as each department depends on the Script Coordinator to send them the most recent draft to track any changes made to props, wardrobe, casting, locations, etc. The Script Coordinator should also track story continuity to ensure that names and references to past scripts are correct, and will also send the script to the legal team to ensure that there aren’t any copyright or permissions issues that may require additional changes, and communicate with the showrunner and producers about any issues that may arise. Knowing as much about the job before going into it will ensure a smoother, easier transition into a complex role.
