Screenplay Readers
This company offered an absolute sham of screenplay coverage and the owner is very unprofessional to top it off

So for a fee of $59, Screenplay Readers offers to analyze and critique your screenplay from a professional's point of view and return it to you within 48hrs I believe. They boast that they have many Hollywood contacts and years of experience in the industry. So under that premise, I submitted my screenplay with an additional request of a one page synopsis of the screenplay.

Now while with a time frame of 48hrs, I didn't expect anything tremendously detailed or long, I did expect a reasonably accurate coverage of my script.

What I received back was laughable. The synopsis seemed to be written by someone who had not read the screenplay very thoroughly, but also someone who didn't have a lot of experience writing a synopsis and didn't understand or care that a one page synopsis was requested, not three.

The entire coverage was peppered with glaring mistakes. Mistakes like mentioning events that never happened in the screenplay. Other mistakes like confusing scenes, characters, and dialogue.

But that's not the worst part. If you email them back criticizing their service, the owner of the service (and probably the guy who did the coverage in the first place) will email you back with a condescending and immature comments instead of taking a look at the coverage that was provided and perhaps offering to fix the mistakes or at least acknowledge them.

Worst service I have ever used as whoever read my script seemed to be a novice at best. Stay away from these guys, they're very unprofessional and unskilled.
