The analysis features a 40-minute digital recording with the “doctor’s examination” of your baby. A 5- to 7-page outline of our comments (about 1,200 words) accompanies the recording, which expands on the points in the outline. And the script comes back with margin notes in key passages for even more detail in the feedback.

We make very few rewrite suggestions.  The emphasis will be on analysis and any diagnostic terminology will come with definitions.

Standard Price $6.00 minimum per page. Based on the standard screenplay format with a reading time or playing time of 1 minute.

We will let you know if your script format means a higher or lower charge per page. A 100-page script in standard format would cost $600.
