Intern - Script Reading

This is a Part Time Unpaid Internship

Abbot Management seeks a Development 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 the duration of one semester, totaling no less than 25 coverages to receive credit for the program. Additionally readers are required to edit their coverage throughout the program, 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.

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 anyone looking to acquire a comprehensive understanding of screenwriting structure and an advanced coverage process. While Academic Credit can be provided, this it is unpaid work-from-home internship.

Abbot Management specializes in finding producers and agents for high quality film and television scripts. After evaluating 6,000 screenplay submissions, we have placed screenplays with major production companies and talent.

Qualifications
• Previous knowledge of screenplay storytelling technique, convention, and formatting.
