What is a virtual script reader?

A Virtual Script Reader evaluates screenplays, scripts, or written content remotely for production companies, agencies, or writers. Their main job is to analyze scripts, provide coverage (summaries and critiques), and offer feedback on elements like story structure, character development, and marketability. This helps producers and decision-makers determine whether a script is worth pursuing. Virtual Script Readers typically work as freelancers or contractors, allowing them to read and assess scripts from anywhere. Strong analytical skills and knowledge of storytelling are essential for success in this role.
