Breaking Into Hollywood - How Do I Get A Job As A Story Analyst / Script Reader?
One of my first jobs in Los Angeles was as a story analyst at a major production company. If you'd love to spend long nights and weekends reading and analyzing the future hits (and not-so-much-a-hits) of Hollywood, here's how you go after this fascinating, funny and frankly high burn-out entry-level gig.
THE JOB
As a story analyst, it is your job to read and summarize scripts then analyze them for structural soundness, story, dialogue, character development, creativity and more. That is called "generating coverage," and you will do that for your creative executives (CEs) on fairly tight deadlines.
THE PROCESS
When you apply for a job as a reader, you will be handed a sample script and asked to analyze it, using the company’s coverage template, in a set period of time, FOR FREE. The company's development team will review your work to see if it meets their needs and may then hire you. Once you are hired, you usually work as a freelancer, being sent or picking up your “weekend pile” of scripts when they contact you. There often are scripts to cover during the week, as well. You might read only a handful of scripts a week; at big companies, you might have to analyze twenty or more a week.
THE PAY
Oh, pay is sooooooo looooooow for readers! You almost always are paid on a per-script basis, anywhere from $20 - $55 a script, usually. Given the hours you invest, it’s not much money, but it’s great experience for both writers and aspiring development types.
HONING YOUR SKILLS
Before you go after a reading job, be sure you have a strong grasp of story structure! Take multiple classes, read multiple books, know industry terminology and expectations. That’s not just to help yourself get a job; it’s also to be fair to the writers whose scripts you are about to be responsible for vetting. As a story analyst, you are a gatekeeper for your production company, the first point of entry for screenwriters trying to get their work produced. That is a big responsibility . It is also great trench training for screenwriters who are interested in learning the buyer's point of view of this business, as I discuss in detail in my book and seminars.
GETTING THE GIG
Next it’s time for the job hunt. Craig’s List often has postings in the “Gigs” section of the Los Angeles region. Just do a general search for “reader” and for “story analyst.” Also, let your friends know you are looking for a story analyst gig, and put a cool gift into the mix for people who get you into the consideration pool!
Of course, reading jobs are notorious “insider” gigs, handed off from one analyst to the next, so the best way to get one of these jobs is through a contact. If you know someone who does coverage right now, ask if they can submit you for consideration as a reader for their company. If they get you in to do sample coverage, terrific – be sure to get them a gift, whether you’re hired or not.
BTW, for gifts, I love to do coffeehouse gift cards. I’ve caffeinated half of Hollywood in the past dozen years.

Baby Name Advice?
We are not sure yet on if the baby is a boy or girl - hoping to find out on the 21st!
Anyways, my fiance loves classic names - Jonathan, Craig, Justin, Colin
I love unique names - Aiden, Holden, Brendan, Seth, Blake and Cowen
So it makes it hard for us to pick the boys name.
We have a girls picked out :
Brea Carol Reader
any suggestions for a boys name that is... classic but unique (not old and unheard of lol)
I just wanted to add, since i didnt make it clear - he likes common sounding names that were more common when we were kids, and are less common now. I like names I had not heard of until recently - hence I love holden and aiden, and he loves gregory and colin.
You're going to think I'm rude, but here goes:
How on earth can you define Aiden as unique? You clearly have confused "unique" with "trendy". Aiden has been in the top 100 US baby names since 2003 and in the top 1000 since 1990. Brendan has been in the top 1000 since 1941 (at least) and near or in the top 100 from 1992 till 2004. Seth has been in the top 1000 since at least 1917, and in or near the top 100 since 1977. That's 30 years of popularity! Not unique! Holden has been in the top 1000 since 1987 and is still in the high 300s, so that's a little less popular, but unique? Not a chance. Cowen has yet to be recognized as a name in America.
From your "classic" picks, Jonathan has been in the top 100 since 1962, hardly classic. Craig hit its peak in the 60s and is currently 548, so that's "more unique" than most of your "unique" picks. Justin has been in the top 1000 since 1917 and hit its highest level in 1989. Colin was basically unheard of in the US before 1932 and dropped out of the top 100 in 2006.
If you are interested, you can peruse the top 1000 names in the US for any year since 1880something at http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/. This is a great site and will give you lots of ideas about trends and popularity over the years. You can even search by decade.
Good luck! I'm sure you'll find a great name for your son or daughter.
PS I'm not quite sure how to pronounce Brea (BRAY-uh?) but I think Carol is sweet, if a little 1950s.
We checked it out: Is there nepotism at the sheriff's department?
A reader asks if Alamance County Sheriff Terry Johnson must follow county policy when it comes to hiring those who are related to him or to each other. For the most part, no, says County Personnel Director Sherry Hook. “The sheriff’s office...
