Why is Rogue Agents the best choice for your script notes?
Simple - Rogue Agents Consulting is the only script consulting firm run by two former literary agents and is affordably priced for every writer. Whether you are a seasoned pro just looking for a fresh read or a young writer trying to break into the business, Ethan Antonucci and Derek Browers are committed to helping you improve your writing. In our combined 20 years of industry experience, we have developed scripts with and given notes to some of the biggest writers in the business. Rogue Agents is the only script consulting service that gives you the same professional quality script notes that the pros get.
What makes the Rogue Agents approach unique?
Every one of our script consultations is done in person over the phone. Successful script development requires an open dialogue. In Hollywood writers work with agents, managers, and producers to edit and polish a screenplay. There are phone calls, meetings, e-mails and more phone calls. A writer isn't just handed a sheet of notes or coverage and sent on his or her merry way. That's why when we started this service we set out to do things differently. Our primary mission is to develop your work using the same principles we employed as literary agents at The Gersh Agency, by picking up the phone and actually talking with you about your script. A real consulting relationship requires professional collaboration. Your personality, creativity, thoughts and desires are the cornerstones of this process and no two writers are the same. How can a script consultant possibly give effective feedback without actually talking to you? That's not the way it works in this business.
Why you need this service.
You already know how hard it is to get an executive, agent, or producer to take a look at your material. Opportunities to get professional consideration for your work are few and far between. Submit sub-par work and that hard-earned connection is gone forever. That is why it is absolutely essential that you know in advance that your script is ready to send out to industry pros. How do we know when a script is ready to send out? Simple, it was what we did for a living for a combined twelve years at The Gersh Agency. In fact, if we absolutely love your script, we can pass it along to our friends in the business for you.
It's about more than developing your script. It's about improving your writing.
Script notes are only part of the formula to your professional growth. The other half of the equation is focusing on the writing itself. What are your strong areas as a writer? What aspects of your writing could use more development? We will help you focus on the areas of your writing that could use polishing and give you specific tips on how to improve. Being a great writer isn't a passive activity or a way to make a quick and easy buck. It is a lifestyle, a commitment. A musician doesn't sell out concert halls by practicing once or twice a week. A chef doesn't get to run a restaurant by dabbling in the kitchen on weekends. It is no different with writing. It requires passion. It requires honesty. It requires commitment. If you are truly committed to becoming a better writer then we want to work with you.
