FAQs

Think about the type of story you want to tell. Screenwriters have different styles, like comedy or drama. You want someone who writes like you imagine your story.
Write down everything the screenwriter needs to do. Include things like the story length and main ideas. Be clear, so you both understand the project.
Agree on important dates together. Write them down, like when you want the first draft done. A good timeline helps you both stay on track.
Share who your story is for, like kids or teens. This helps the screenwriter tailor the script. Knowing the audience makes the story better.
Ask to see scripts they have written before. Good samples show their skills. Look for stories that match your project.
Plan times to talk about the project, like once a week. This helps the screenwriter stay on track. It also gives you a chance to share ideas.
Tell the screenwriter exactly what you want in your story. Share your thoughts, and maybe some pictures. The clearer you are, the better they can write.
Give the screenwriter things they need, like reference materials. This could be books, videos, or even other scripts. Good resources help the screenwriter do a great job.
Plan times when you'll give feedback, like after each script draft. Be helpful and kind with your comments. This helps improve the story without delays.
Make sure you both agree on how to deliver the final script. Talk about how it's sent and in what format. This makes the project wrap-up easy.
