Dan Calvisi

When notes aren’t enough and you want to hire a professional screenwriter to write or polish your screenplay, I can help.

I love coaching writers to success, but my absolute favorite thing to do is to write an original screenplay for a client. I bring decades of experience, creativity and energy that will deliver on the page, where you need it the most. Whether you only have an idea or you have a completed draft that just needs a polish, I can come onto the project and carry it across the goal line to success.

I am comfortable and adept at features, television pilots and new media, and I’ve worked in most genres. I keep up on all the current movies, shows and popular social media formats. My three most recent writing assignments were on a feature thriller, a one-hour drama pilot and a horror short.

To be clear, Script Doctoring is when I’m actually making creative changes to your film or television screenplay as a co-writer, as opposed to giving you notes for your next draft. I can also perform rewrites on other material, such as pitches, pitch decks, story bibles, treatments, comedy sketches or social media clips. I can provide writing samples in several different formats and genres for your review.

If you are serious about hiring a pro writer to execute on the page at the level the industry demands, then contact me now and we can talk further. Please keep in mind that Script Doctoring is substantially more expensive than a script consultation. If you really want a quality product that is going to open doors, you must invest in hiring a writer who knows what they’re doing. I’ve seen too many clients pay for a cheap once-over from an amateur. It’s not worth it to waste time and money on a writer who doesn’t put the highest value on your project or their work.

I will quote you a rate once I get more information about your project. Credit will be agreed upon by both parties and specified in the contract. Everything we do will be confidential. I am open to “blind” rewrites where I do not receive credit. (See also: Why Hire Me?)
