Script Consulting
Do you have a script you’d like me to read?
My experience as both a working screenwriter and a development executive allows me to approach script notes from both sides of the table. I understand the creative process from a writer’s and filmmaker’s perspective while also recognizing what producers and executives looking for. My focus is to give both artistically and commercially balanced feedback to other writers.
Basically, I give the kinds of notes I’d like to receive.
I’ve worked as a script consultant on the NEON feature film Shelby Oaks and as a development executive for Zeus Pictures, overseeing films that have played Sundance, SXSW, Sitges and many other prestige and genre film festivals.
While my career is focused mostly in the horror/genre space, I have a deep passion for prestige dramas, dark comedies, thrillers and oddball stories. My rates are on a sliding scale and cover 2 full rounds of notes. And my rates are reasonable, especially in these economically challenging times.
If you have a script you’d like me to read, please reach out!

Testimonials
Emily Bennett is an incredible person to give your script to. Her notes are grounded, specific, and always rooted in character and audience reaction. Most importantly, Emily doesn't try to force your script into a box or make it something that it's not. Her notes consistently empower you to make your script the best version of the movie you want to see. I had a great experience, and would absolutely call on Emily's skills again next time I need a script workshopped.

Emily’s notes are inspiring, honest, and full of champion energy. She tells you what’s already landing and what could make the rest stronger, and she approaches material with genuine curiosity and respect. Highly recommend working with Emily!
