Hi,

I am an independent director, producer writing a pilot and need someone to help out with formatting a film script that I have already written.

I know how to format scripts according to the industry standards and I had been personally formatting my scripts up until now (on professional script writing software like celtx or final draft), but I realized formatting slows me down and hinders the creative flow. So I decided to write 'freely' one day and it worked really well; however I realized I'm still dreading the formatting. That's when I realized I need an amanuensis.

What I'm seeking is an editor/reader:

- who knows how to format scripts,
- with working knowledge of celtx (quick with the formatting shortcuts),
- who can tolerate someone reading/directing over his/her shoulder (because I need to be there to decipher my own freeflow text)
- who can type in corrections, additions and remove parts as dictated by me, and auto-correct obvious typos,
- who can and will work at a fixed rate per hour for a day, or, two, while keeping a professional attitude
- preferably at my apartment in Culver City, or, if not comfortable, at a nearby public place (a cafe or library)

During the work: Meals will be provided, brakes will be given, and gas/commute expense will be covered. You dodn't need to bring in your laptop, I'll provide you a MacbookPro for the job. You may want to bring in your own keyboard if you feel more comfortable.

Please reply with your desired rate/hour along with your resume, and make sure you tell me where you will be commuting from (the closer you are to Culver City, the better)

Thanks, Location: Culver CityCompensation: you make the offer This is a contract job.Principals only.
