Euroscript wishes to establish long-standing relationships between writers and their script editors.  You will be given the name and contact details of your script editor when you first order your report and you will be encouraged to get in touch with any questions.  It is usual for writers and our script editors to continue to work together on projects over time and it is this relationship which is crucial to the long-term development of the script.

Here are the cvs of our script editors.  If you would like to be paired up with someone in particular, let us know when you book our services and we will do our best to use them, although this is subject to their availability as all our script editors are working writers/ producers/ directors.  Otherwise we will choose someone we think is most suited to your project.
