Q: Do I edit?
Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 2
)
Check for Errors
Writers are human—a fact that begets errors. As a professional—the image you must project to become a working screenwriter—you are the person responsible for your work's clarity. Proofread with a clear head. Spellcheckers help, but don't catch everything. Study your words for errors (including homonyms), make notes, and then clean up your mistakes.
Sloppy Surely Won't Sell
First draft or twenty-first, edit! The act of typing FADE OUT does not mean you are done with a script. When you reach that milestone, the urge might be to “move forward” and try to attract industry attention. Slow down. Hollywood only wants professionals. Proofread and edit your work—because if it looks like slop, it will flop.
