I have a completed feature screenplay sitting at roughly 160 pages that now needs to look and read like a polished, studio-ready draft. Within the next 24 hours I need you to: • Re-format every page to Hollywood/US industry standards – correct scene headings and transitions – consistent character name and dialogue blocks – properly spaced action/description paragraphs • Copy-edit for grammar, punctuation and basic style, with special attention to keeping dialogue clear, natural and typo-free. Keep all existing story beats intact—this is purely a presentation and light-editing pass, not a structural rewrite. I will supply the script as a single WORD file; please return the revised version in WORD and a clean export to PDF so I can send it immediately to producers. Delivery deadline: 24 hours from hire. Budget $50-$200 NZD

Screenplay formatting at this scale demands precision—160 pages means 160 opportunities for inconsistency in scene headings, character blocks, and dialogue spacing. This project requires someone who understands Hollywood standards aren't suggestions; they're requirements producers expect without negotiation. The 24-hour turnaround is tight but manageable with systematic workflow. Each page gets parsed against industry standards: proper sluglines, consistent character names above dialogue, correct parentheticals, action paragraph spacing, and transition formatting. Grammar and punctuation follow through simultaneously—no separate pass needed. Delivering both WORD and PDF ensures your producer gets camera-ready output immediately. The existing story stays intact; this is pure presentation work, which keeps scope tight and delivery clean. Based on the 160-page scope, tight deadline, and dual-format delivery, positioning for the upper range of your budget reflects the technical precision required. Ready to start immediately upon hire and file transfer.

Studio-ready screenplay formatting requires precision across multiple technical layers—scene heading standardization, character block alignment, dialogue spacing, and action paragraph consistency all demand simultaneous attention to prevent the 160-page document from reading as amateur. This project falls directly into professional screenwriting cleanup and copy editing. The formatting pass will follow industry standards (proper scene heading syntax, transition placement, character name positioning above dialogue blocks, correct parenthetical placement). The copy-edit phase addresses grammar, punctuation, and dialogue clarity without touching story structure—a surgical distinction that preserves authorial voice while eliminating technical errors. Delivery within 24 hours is feasible for a formatting and light-edit pass. You'll receive both a polished WORD file and production-ready PDF export. The focus remains on presentation standards and readability—no rewrites, no structural changes, just professional-grade cleanup that moves the script closer to producer submission. Rate: $280 NZD. Ready to start immediately upon file receipt.

Hello! Your project caught my attention — a 160-page screenplay that needs to look studio-ready in 24 hours: Hollywood-standard scene headings/transitions, consistent character cues, copy-edited dialogue, returned in WORD plus a clean PDF. I can handle this with experienced screenplay formatting and copy-editing (Final Draft/Word screenplay templates) and deliver the polished WORD + PDF within 24 hours of hire. Story beats stay 100% intact — purely a presentation and light-editing pass. Two quick questions so this stays one-shot: 1. Any specific font/page setup beyond standard 12-pt Courier on US-Letter? 2. Do you want en/em-dashes normalized inside dialogue or left as-is? Suggested milestone breakdown (total: NZD 250, 1 day): - M1 — NZD 50 (20%): first 40 pages formatted as a sample for sign-off (~6 hours) - M2 — NZD 100 (40%): pages 41–120 polished - M3 — NZD 100 (40%): remaining pages + final WORD + PDF export Fund M1 to start, release when happy, then fund the next. Standard Freelancer escrow — protects both of us. Ready to begin the moment you award + fund M1. Best regards, Amr
