Landed a sweet side gig

Screenwriting service send me scripts that people have submitted to them.
I read it, do a 3-4 page eval and get paid for it.
Sweet!

I have done this b4 for a UK company.
Some of the scripts can be pretty bad tho.

Reading scripts from amateurs and THEN writing an essay 3-4 pages long about it sounds like a nightmare gig.

Since people are asking, I see more terrible scripts than I do good ones.
But I try to give a constructive report.

K I'll rephrase it. How does one become a screenwriter? After last year's schlocks my mid term plan is to reach a level and get connections where I can pump out terrible schit that can be adopted by streaming services.

Its a multiple year process, but starts with learning how to write a story and format a script.

Okay, cool. Haha.

Anyway, congrats on the job. I'm currently honing my skills. Right now I'm writing short stories for various YT channels. Don't ask what because I'm not trying to get detectived.

But I'm in the process of doing my first full screenplay. I'm actually friends with a local film producer who does low budget films. So I'm thinking of writing something simple as well that can be produced inexpensively since it'll be local.
