Working with Paul was much more than I expected in every way. I was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge of story structure and character development, as he easily identified all of the weak points in my script and gave me full insight as to how to improve those weak points. Most importantly, Paul gave me a clear look as to the direction my script needed to go in order for it to be a smooth read, and therefore more marketable. I will definitely be working with Paul again in the future.”– Miles Beaudoin
Paul Peditto is more than just a superb scriptwriter. He instinctively understands how a script is put together and what makes all the elements click. When you combine all these elements plus his extensive insider knowledge of marketing and networking techniques, you have a one-stop opportunity to transform your rough draft into a polished screenplay. He instantly seizes upon weak elements in your script and comes up with inspired solutions to make a good script great. He helped turn my shapeless script into a tight and polished screenplay. He did this not by imposing his vision but by teaching me to improve my own. –Elaine Tuman
Paul Peditto’s feedback has been invaluable in sharpening my skills and readying me for screenplay competition such as Nicholl, Austin, & Sundance. His critiques are highly insightful and his no nonsense approach is refreshing. I’m a big fan of his and this website! –Mike Apostolidis
Screenwriting is not a hobby for me. My goal is to become a professional screenwriter. While I’m not there yet, Paul has been a constant, encouraging mentor along the way. With his help and guidance, I went from having no knowledge of even the basic screenplay format, to two completed, polished scripts. (both of which are for sale if anyone is interested!) –Ken Lubinski
Paul Peditto is one smart cookie. I was adapting my play ” Blind Tasting” to screen play form and had him look it over. With his help I definitely took it to the next level. He took my screenplay and using common sense, creativity and an encyclopedic knowledge of classic screen plays, made it better. He cleaned up the technical aspects and saw some inspired dramatic possibilities as well; his instincts were right on. Paul is the Vince Lombardi of screen writer coaches! —Sharon Evans, Chicago Playwright, and winner of the Jeff Award for best new play, 2003.
Paul was great! He made the brutal process of dissecting and rearranging my script less painful with his personal-able nature. He offered great advice and constructive criticism. I know I have a better grasp on my script after working with him. –Abbéy Odunlami

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your work on my screenplay. Worth every penny. You pointed out the errors directly and concisely without making me look like an idiot. Your notes were a godsend. Definitely 5 stars out of 5.–Mike Thor, Screenwriter
Thanks for everything, Paul. Can’t tell you how much our brief relationship has fundamentally changed me for the better as a writer. Amazing what just a few words can do when directed properly – you are like a Script Sniper – deadly accurate.–Jason Philips, Screenwriter
