What is script coverage? Very simply its when you pay a company as much as 200 dollars to have some experts review your screenplay.
DO you have a guarantee that the people who read your script are in fact movie experts or even worked in the field? No.
Do you have a guarantee of getting an agent or having your work sent to a production company if they like your script. No.
What are the odds or your script getting a SUBMIT rating, rather than a PASS? Less that 5%.
So your paying as much as 200 dollars for a 5% or less chance of getting anything in return. Just some arbitrary opinions on people you dont know and whose credentials are not published by the company.
Is there are better way of getting someone else's opinion? Or just to have some else see your work? What I found out the hard way was that you get far more for your money from a web site like FIVERR, where the fees are only 5 dollars. Of course there are other web sites like FIVERR out there that could be another option. You can also use family members or friends. Feedback on your script is vital to your screenwriting success, but just be smart about it.
I have also tried a few screenwriting contests, but your odds there are pretty low as well.
The best thing you can do is just keep writing and creating and doing research online.
