Crystal D. Stevens began her career as a reader for Academy Award winning
director, Lee Grant, at her production company in NYC. She went on to attend
college at Marymount Manhattan College where she double-majored in both
Communication Arts and English, giving her a solid foundation in story telling
arts. Later on, she read scripts for Johnny Boston on Raw Films in NY and
then at Fever-Dreams Films, LLC. She was made Director of Development for
producer, Carl Morano of Fever-Dreams Films in NYC. She has taught a screenwriting
workshop for new writers at FVA, also in NY. More recently, she has optioned
her feature, The Big Break, for a six figure purchase price. She is also
slated to teach online for a school in the UK. Ms. Stevens has ghost written
nearly 25 feature scripts over the last 3 years and also placed in the top
15% at Nicholl with her first script, Organized Criminal (which is currently
being marketed by her Manager, Tim Lambert of ABM in NY). One of her clients
went on to place in the quarterfinals at the Coverage Inc., screenwriting

Two industry readers will provide an in-depth analysis of the screenplay,
assessing its strengths and weaknesses. This detailed evaluation will include
comments on the following items and how they interact with each other:
Also provided with the basic coverage/feedback are general suggestions
about the direction in which the script can be taken to make the story better.
Development Suggestions ($650):
The purpose of development is to provide detailed suggestions on how your
screenplay can be made better. These suggestions are much more detailed
than those provided at the basic level, and they include specific maps on
what should be changed to enhance your story and make it more desirable
and salable for production. As with the basic coverage/feedback, scripts
undergoing development are reviewed by two industry readers.
Actual Rewrite ($4,500):
This is as it sounds. After consultation by two or more staff readers,
one reader will rewrite the actual script while taking into consideration
all suggestions from the staff and any/all suggestions from the person or
persons submitting the script.
Script Creation ($7,000 and up):
The Coverage Factor will develop and write an entire feature script based
on your notes or your ideas. Consultation is required.
