Jimmy provides an absolutely amazing script notes service going above and beyond any other coverage I’ve ever had, especially in the genre region. His notes helped us look at script in a completely different way and the details were superb. We will absolutely hire him again to help us on our screenplays in the near future!

What Script Butcher’s customers say
Jonathan Robertson
You do GREAT work. Really can’t stress that enough. Easily the most thorough feedback I’ve ever gotten. Your notes were clear, constructive, and have been super helpful.
Julia Diddy
Jimmy, these notes are SO HELPFUL. I’m genuinely thrilled!! Thank you sooooo much. You’ve provided sooooo many useful points to work with here! Huge, massive thanks for the thought and expertise you put into this. I’m so grateful!!
Matthew Borlik
Thank you very much for this extensive/comprehensive critique, which is INCREDIBLY helpful. There are too many good notes to list, but–when it comes time for the second draft–the vast majority of your critiques will be heavily considered (if not straight-up implemented). Having a fresh set of eyes look at the first draft is a big deal. Thanks again for all your help!
John Higgins
The Script Butcher, Jimmy George is an outstanding resource for any project and any writer of any level of experience. He has a death grip on narrative, detail, character and structure. Think you might get an Oscar? Jimmy will make it so that you damned sure will. He overhauled everything about a big TV project for me and the entire writers pool is all the better for it.
Paul Harker
Exactly what I wanted – a thorough analysis of my screenplay with all that is good and bad about it brutally exposed. Has given me some very direct pointers to where it should be going and why. Delivered on time. Superb value. Incredible. 5 stars isn’t enough. Thank you.
Natalie Melvin
Thank you for your thorough attention to the story and your invaluable notes. I love your clear sense of direction as a way to improve the script. No words to describe how much work you put into your feedback, and how invaluable it is. Overwhelmed with gratitude for your help.
John Irwin
Just wanted to reiterate how great your notes are. It’s like having a cheat sheet for making your script better!
Troy Hart
Wow. Just read through all of your notes and I have to say they are without a doubt the best notes I have ever received on a script. Thank you so much.
Brianna Reeves
I can’t say thank you enough. I’m overflowing with ideas on how best to refine things and am excited to start the editing process. Will definitely use the service again!
Evan Viveiros
Really appreciated all the feedback. Your notes have helped me tremendously.
Ryan Horner
Thank you for the in-depth work! I am elated and just stoked to delve into it all. These notes will prove invaluable.
Herschel Medlin
Your evaluation really puts some much needed perspective and direction on a raw and unpolished script. You are great at critical thinking and evaluating scenarios. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your hard work and analysis. I really do. In fact, your analysis is so painful because it is so accurate on mistakes that I made. Bravo to you! Thanks again.
Cheril N. Clarke
Jimmy George is the TRUTH! I was skeptical, at first, how a horror writer would help me polish a story about passion, love, and sexuality, but he nailed it. Jimmy came highly recommended, and I see why.
Matt Pitchford
I’m finding it hard putting into words what Jimmy George has done for my screenplay (and I’m supposed to be a writer…ha). His notes were spectacular, it felt as if he really cared about the words on the paper, and it was more than just a business transaction.
Taylor Albertson
Thank you for these notes on my script. As a writer I’m not sure that I can adequately express just how helpful and concise I found them to be. I got more than my money’s worth. Your notes on my script were more valuable than I ever imagined. It helped me see what you were seeing, understand what you were saying to me and opened my mind to see things as a reader sees them. I’ve never had anyone else do this and, as it turns out, it’s a shame because it’s so helpful. Also helpful: the structural issues you pointed out. Thinking about these and making some changes will surely move me from finalist to winner in contests. Best money I’ve ever spent on analysis of my script. Anyone wanting detailed notes should check you out for themselves.
Mike Deas
In 15+ years of pursuing screenwriting, having my script read by dozens — if not hundreds — of friends, colleagues, managers, agents, producers, script readers, festival jurors, and random people in coffee shops looking over my shoulder, Jimmy [The Script Butcher] is the most thoughtful, thorough, inquisitive, insightful reader I’ve ever encountered. Not only did he read my script multiple times and provide wonderful notes, we also went back and forth on a number of specifics about the project; helping me not only make the script better… but make the script a better version of WHAT I WANTED IT TO BE. I cannot recommend his services enough and wish I could have him as the looky-loo in the coffee shop whispering thoughts into my ear.
Dennis Delemar
This guy knows what he’s talking about. Recommend for anyone trying to take their script to the next level.
Yelitza Breen
FANTASTIC THOROUGH WORK, JIMMY! I got the feedback that I was looking for. I really appreciate it!
Sally Pitts
I can’t recommend the Script Butcher more highly. I’ve received notes from many sources but Jimmy blew me away with the time and effort he put in. His thoughtful feedback has helped me elevate my script to a whole new level!
