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.

What Script Butcher’s customers say
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.
Tommy Duncan III
I am quite overwhelmed by the quality of your feedback, it was really next level and I can’t thank you enough.
I’ve been letting friends and others read my work for years, and I’ve heard some things about my scripts that you have also brought up, but your feedback puts it in a different perspective. I laughed a lot actually. You highlighted a lot of flaws in my writing that others have NOT seen, but you have stated it clear in such a way that I feel like I can actually improve on those flaws.
Money well spent on my end. I’m coming out of this like I just took a semester in screenwriting. I can’t thank you enough really, because I’m always going to be re-reading these notes and constantly referring back to it. Thanks-a-mucho!
Joe Cardamone
I wrote a 60+ page pilot script. My first time ever writing beyond a short film. I knew that script needed work and help, so I looked for it. Luckily, I found Jimmy George and his amazing business Script Butcher. I just received insanely extensive notes that are spot on and do nothing but elevate the material. I couldn’t be happier with Jimmy’s service and the level of detail in his notes. I’m stoked to start on the next draft. If you need help with your work then I emphatically recommend Script Butcher and Jimmy George for that help. Thank you, Jimmy for showing me how to bring my work to the next level!
Isaac Rathbone
Jimmy’s feedback is organized and insightful. His simple notes about economizing space on the page without sacrificing content is brilliant and explained in the best way possible. I would highly recommend his service for any screenwriter.
Mark Lombard
WOW! You are well worth the money. Thanks for all the help, Jimmy. So glad I contacted you.
Jordan Borr
I finally had the time to sit down and go over all of your notes and work. I can’t thank you enough and I truly mean that. Everything that you have provided for me will be so vital to my growth as a writer.
I finished this script back in May and until I came to you, I was already feeling discouraged. I had some friends, friends who write themselves and one who acts, read it and all of their feedback was the same “I like it” or “it’s great.” Which was not helpful. But now I am beyond excited again. I’m excited to get back at it and improve it. You have given me so much to think about, consider and look into (thank you for the book recommendations!) Thank you!!
Joey Scoma
Getting feedback from the Script Butcher was something I didn’t know I needed until I got it! Not only was he able to find blindspots in the story that I had missed, but I got a real sense that he understood the intent behind everything I was going for and was able to offer suggestions to unlock the story’s full potential. I can’t understate the value in receiving his unbiased and fresh perspective. He really knows his stuff.
Devin Lotfi
You better take advantage of this talent before his price doubles and even then it would be well worth it! these notes are the best I have ever received and have took my inspiration to a full catapult ! he truly cares and covers all the grounds! A+ , 10/10, Two Thumbs Up , etc.
Stefan Mannes
Brilliant input. Thank you so much! You really know how to motivate people.
Matt Bowden
Wow, Jimmy — this is some awesome work you’ve put into this. The tone of your notes is pitch-perfect. Your notes are incredibly thorough, and offer many new threads of thought when revising. Well worth it! Thank you!
Caleb Armstrong
The work you’ve done with my script, and for my script, is nothing short of amazing. Your passion for the craft and, more importantly, encouragement inhabits every page of notes that you provide. You’ve managed to make me look forward to writing again and I am grateful for that.
Fantastic notes. They were critical and in-depth. Really, I can’t say enough about how great it was to read through these. Again, your eagerness to help my story along was evident on every page. Thank you.

Getting script revision notes from Jimmy George has been, without doubt, the best thing I’ve ever spent money on.

I have had the privilege of working with Script Butcher Jimmy George on a number of screenplays for the film and graphic novel medium. His passion and dedication to story is contagious in every instance that I worked with him. His constructive guidance on structure helps to make me a better writer by enhancing my vision for the story I want to tell.
