Euroscript wants to establish long-standing relationships between writers and their script editors. You will be given your editor's name and contact details when you order your report, and we encourage you to get in touch with any questions. It is usual for writers and our script editors to work together on projects over time - a relationship which is crucial to the long-term development of the script.
Here are the cvs of our script editors. If you'd like to be paired up with someone in particular, let us know when you book our services and we'll do our best to use them (although this is subject to availability as all our editors are working writers/ producers/ directors). Otherwise we will choose someone we think is most suited to your project.
