Intern - Script Reading

This is a Part Time Unpaid Internship

Abbot Entertainment seeks a Script Reading Intern to read screenplays and write coverage.

As a script reader, you will help us evaluate new writer submissions. Our readers are asked to cover a minimum of two screenplays per week for three months. Readers are required to edit their coverage according to feedback provided. If two readers cover the same script, they must discuss their differences in opinion. Readers also communicate with writers, answering their questions and acknowledging their thanks or complaints. These responsibilities require roughly 10 hours per week.

At the end of our program, our readers can export their coverage into professionally formatted pdfs for use as a writing sample. Our Internship is good for someone looking to study screenwriting conventions and the coverage process. While Academic Credit can be provided, this it is unpaid work from home internship.

Please e-mail a resume and a cover letter detailing your experience working with scripts and your interest in reading them for us.
