Jimmy does an outstanding job with his notes and feedback. I have tried similar services in the past but none met the quality of Script Butcher. Not only does Jimmy give in depth notes he also applies solutions. Even after he submits his feedback you can still follow-up with him and ask questions which is extremely helpful. The times I have felt my script was either in bad shape or practically DOA Jimmy’s helped me craft it into something solid.

What Script Butcher’s customers say
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.
Andrew Harmer
Thank you so much! Your notes are amazing, insightful, and actionable. I’ve never used a script consultant before, so wasn’t sure what to expect but have to say it’s the best money I’ve ever spent. I can’t tell you how infused I am about them and how useful they will be in tackling the next draft. I can’t wait to get cracking on it.
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.
John Irwin
Just wanted to reiterate how great your notes are. It’s like having a cheat sheet for making your script better!
Brian Lynch
After working with Jimmy, I felt confident enough to shoot big with my very first horror script Wolv.es and submit it for the Nicholl Fellowship… Wolv.es placed in the top 20% of entrants for the Nicholl, in a notoriously challenging competition that has only seen 3 Horror winners since its inception! [I feel mentioning that is key, because then it’s more of a “holy shit, the script improved enough for a screenwriting noob to pull that off” selling point] He’s given me a much stronger understanding of my weaknesses, and helped develop a firm foundation for how I approach screenwriting. I can’t wait to work with him on my next feature script!
Sean Morgan
Goes above and beyond to provide excellent and professional feedback.
David Crispino
Jimmy George and his Script Butcher service has leveled up my writing ability 10 fold. His understanding of story and pacing has me constantly amazed at his breath of knowledge. He’s a deep well of kindness and is devotion to your vision is limitless. His collaboration is invaluable. Have him on your next project. Trust me.
N. Mabasa-Mathope
Once again, I’m floored by your brilliance!!! Most definitely bringing another draft and another new script soon.
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.
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!!
Scott Lunshof
If you’re looking to upgrade your writing skills or just to have an idea where you’re at with your talent, you want Jimmy to review your script.
As the Script Butcher, with his many years of writing experience to his credit, he could tear your story apart, but that doesn’t help anyone.
Based on his current knowledge of the writing industry, Jimmy finds that awesome balance of constructive criticism, along with building on what you’ve done well.
In addition to copious notes on how to directly improve your script, he provides exhaustive resources to help make you a better writer in both the short and long term.
If you want an honest and professional review of your script, trust your story to the good hands of Jimmy the Butcher.
I did and the experience was so good, I’m sending Jimmy another script for review – you should too!
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.
K.N. Smith

Your notes are information overload but in a good way. Your insights are priceless.

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.
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!
