Screenwriting : Script request feedback by Rachel Troche

Script request feedback

Hi friends! I've had 3 script read requests over the last 2 months (yay!). I noticed the disclaimer when submitting the script that feedback can take a few months after the script is sent, which I totally understand - these are working professionals after all.

Just excited to receive more feedback and/or potentially move to the next step, whatever that is. What's been your experience? Is there an average turnaround time or is it specific to the executive?

Congratulations on getting 3 script requests over the last 2 months, Rachel Troche! That's impressive!

Mike Schreurs

Congrats on the the requests.

Rachel Troche

Maurice Vaughan thank you! I finally feel like I've nailed my verbal pitch and am just fine tuning now. Really excited to hear what those who requested it have to say.

Rachel Troche

Mike Schreurs thank you!

Brett Page

Rachel Troche, congratulations!

I've had three script requests via live pitches. The first request came in about three months ago, and I'm still waiting to hear back on that read. The second request came on Wednesday, having pitched on Monday. The third request came in today, and I was also told a script would be requested.

This is the exciting but nervous wait to find out the next steps after they read the script. Going from what has happened so far, I expect the timelines will all be different.

Best of luck with your next stages!

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Rachel Troche. That's great! Congratulations! Nailing a verbal pitch isn't always easy. I mainly do written pitches, but I've gotten better at verbal pitches with the resources on here. I hope you sell your script!

Thanks, Brett Page ! Sounds like you and I are in the same boat! Mine came in roughly the same way. Waiting is the worst. Best wishes to you!!

Hi, Rachel Troche. Congratulations on having your script request to read. I experienced a similar sense of excitement when my script received a request for reading last year. I had two different experiences. One producer took two weeks after receiving the script and asking for a meeting with me. The other producer took 4 months until I received their evaluation that the script wasn't what he was looking for. So, it depends, but I wish you would hear good news soon. Stage 32 will send an email to you, no matter the result.

Rachel Troche

Thanks, Sandra Isabel Correia ! that's about where I am right now too, so it sounds like par for the course.

It is, Rachel Troche, from my own experience.
