There are times when you know you’re done writing because you reach a satisfying stopping point. And then there are times you know you’re done writing because your brain is like “I will leak out of your fucking nose if you force me to make one more thought.”

Meet Gauntlet Reader Heloise Wilson

✒️ Script Consultant for Netflix and Lionsgate

Her favorite genres are female-driven dramedies with a societal lens and psychological thrillers. Her goal is to help you crack open your story and get closer to the message you want to convey.

P.S. The Gauntlet makes this easy for you with our interactive report. You can easily navigate at least 7 readers’ opinions to see where they overlap and agree on your script’s concept, story, characters, dialogue, structure, writing, and marketability.

A good rule of thumb when it comes to combing through your feedback:

If 3 people ask the same question during a workshop or revision process, it might be a good idea to revisit where the issue lies within the story.

With micro-dramas and vertical series booming, when will the screenwriting gurus start teaching structure for TikTok? Asking for a friend.

“Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works.”

- Virginia Woolf

“A lot of writers are complaining about the cost, but I’m like, do the math. $380 for 7 readers from the industry folk is the deal of the century. And if you get all 17 reads, holy mackerel, you’ve hit the writer jackpot.”

— Raven Petretti-Stamper

Meet Gauntlet Reader Charles Zucker

Before college, he gained experience working summers as a stunt driving instructor at Willow Springs Raceway, which proved invaluable in steering through convoluted second acts.

A common screenwriting pitfall: world-building that delays the momentum of your narrative.

Don’t lose track of the fact that you still have a story to tell. Your protagonist needs an obstacle to overcome within your world.
