I’ve just completed a 90-120 page horror feature and now need a fresh set of professional eyes to perfect it. The draft tells its story well, but I want every line to read as cleanly as it plays in my head. Your task is twofold: first, give the script a meticulous proofread, tightening grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and overall consistency so the narrative flows without distraction; second, re-format the document so it sits squarely in Standard Hollywood screenplay style—scene headings, dialogue blocks, action lines, page breaks, the works. You may use Final Draft, Fade In, WriterDuet, or any comparable industry tool, as long as the final file opens flawlessly in Final Draft and exports to a paginated PDF. I’ll share the current draft (in Final Draft format) once we agree to work together. Deliverables • Clean, fully corrected .fdx file in Standard Hollywood format • Matching, ready-to-print PDF (proper margins, page numbers, and spacing) • Brief change log or margin notes highlighting any significant story-flow tweaks Additional Requirements: • Freelancer must have experience with horror scripts and proofreading. • The script was written using Fade In but can be formatted using any tool that exports to Final Draft and PDF. • Deadline for completion is 1-2 weeks. I’m aiming for a quick turnaround without sacrificing precision; please let me know your typical timeframe and any relevant samples of formatted scripts you’ve polished before.

Screenplay formatting and proofreading requires more than grammar cleanup—it demands understanding how visual structure affects pacing and readability in Standard Hollywood format. The 90-120 page horror feature needs precision across scene headings, dialogue blocks, action lines, and spacing that directly impact how producers and directors perceive the work. This project aligns with established strengths in screenwriting, copy editing, and proofreading. The deliverables—Final Draft .fdx file, paginated PDF export, and change log—are standard outputs from prior script polishing work. Turnaround typically runs 5-7 business days for a feature of this length, depending on the density of corrections required. The brief will include meticulous grammar and syntax review, consistency checks across character names and scene formatting, and margin notes flagging any structural adjustments that strengthen narrative flow. Final files will open flawlessly in Final Draft and export to print-ready PDF with proper margins and page numbering. Ready to review the draft immediately upon agreement. Samples of previously formatted scripts available on request.

I can proofread your completed horror feature and reformat it into clean Standard Hollywood screenplay style, with polished scene headings, dialogue, action, spacing, and page presentation. The result will be a script that reads smoothly, looks professional, and is ready to open properly in Final Draft and export as a print-ready PDF. I will review the draft line by line for grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and consistency, then verify screenplay formatting throughout so the pages are correctly laid out. After tightening any issues that affect flow, I will prepare the corrected .fdx file, matching PDF, and a brief change log with any significant story-flow notes. Best, Sonia

Hi, I will take your draft and check every line for spelling, grammar, punctuation and flow so the tension stays sharp in your horror feature. I will also fix all scene headings, action lines, dialogue blocks and page breaks so the layout sits correctly in Standard Hollywood screenplay style. I will work in Fade In and export a clean .fdx file along with a ready to print PDF that matches all industry standards. You will also get a short change log pointing out any story flow fixes made along the way. Since you asked about samples, I will proofread the first few pages of your script first and send you the polished .fdx and PDF so you can check my work before we set any milestones. Which software do you prefer for the final file delivery? Best, Salma Noreen
