Get Repped Now

Overview

HOW IT WORKS

1. You submit your original pilot or feature script to Coverage Ink for coverage during our Get Repped Now! period Aug. 4 – Dec. 12, 2026. Note: pilots based on existing shows are not eligible for Get Repped Now, sorry!

2. If the reader rates your material a “consider” for script (roughly the top 2-3% of submissions,) then it will automatically ADVANCE to the manager panel at the end of Get Repped Now! You will also have a chance to implement the notes and polish accordingly from the coverage beforehand. *More on considers below.

3. All submissions will receive full screenplay or pilot analysis, so if you do not score a ‘consider’ for script, your coverage report will detail why and show you how to hopefully get it into the zone. You may then, if you desire, resubmit a revised draft for another round of coverage before the Get Repped Now! final deadline — if you have time.

WHY MANAGERS?

Managers are writers’ not-so-secret weapon. While many emerging writers naively focus on getting an agent, the truth is that it’s the MANAGER who often gets you the agent. You don’t generally land agency representation until there’s some heat on you, and you’re a known quantity in town, or you’ve won some major kudos at a huge festival like Sundance or are a Nicholl Fellow (but even then, maybe not.)

Managers are the ones who work with you on draft after draft, developing your craft and getting the script where it needs to be. Agents just don’t have the time or interest and depend on managers to do the heavy lifting. Managers generally have much smaller lists (say 10-25 clients,) while agents can have 60-80 clients. Do the math. Managers are the ones who strategize, put the team together, slip scripts to producers to start relationships and build the heat.

Most importantly, managers are often more approachable. It’s their job to find and nurture emerging writers. And we've got 18 of them excited to find someone great.

HOW TO ENTER

1) Submit your script or pilot to us before the December 12, 2026 deadline.

2) We’ll email you a confirmation upon submission with your estimated coverage delivery date. Please note that our usual 10-day turnaround for standard coverage can be substantially longer during Get Repped Now, especially if you submit close to the final deadline. Turnaround time may be 2-3 months at deadline. We will let you know the estimated turnaround time when you submit.

3) You will receive your analysis back on or around the promised delivery date. Unfortunately, due to the volume of submissions, we cannot handle any rushes or semi-rushes during the Get Repped Now! promotion.

4) All Considers for Script will be sent to the manager panel at the end of Get Repped Now (mid-April) with our recommendations. We will also work with you to tighten and lock those submissions before sending them off to the panel. We will let you know what feedback we receive and if the rep requests so, put you in direct contact with them.

5) Script submissions that score below a ‘consider’ for script (‘consider with reservations’ and ‘pass’) do not advance to the panel, but you will have a solid road map for how to make your script rock in the form of a detailed, thoughtful and empowering script coverage report.

Rules & Guidelines

You may submit as many screenplays and/or pilots as you wish before the Get Repped Now! deadline (December 12, 2026).

You must be the writer/writers of your submission, or else have an option or legal right to submit the material.

All scripts entered will receive screenplay coverage in the form of CI Standard, CI Lite, or CI Pro analysis from an experienced analyst from the Coverage Ink (CI) team. No screenplays are read by interns or students.

Only screenplays and teleplays that receive a ‘consider’ (or better) for SCRIPT will be advanced to the manager panel. This is roughly t top 2-3% of submissions. Scripts that receive a ‘consider’ for writer but do not receive a ‘consider’ (or better) for script will not be passed along. Sorry, but a “consider with reservations” is NOT a consider.

Offer ends at 11:59 PM of the Get Repped Now deadline (December 12, 2026.)

Offer only valid on screenplays and teleplays submitted for coverage to Coverage Ink.com during the GRN period (Aug. 4 – Dec. 12, 2026.) But if you miss the deadline, fear not – the next round starts up the very next day.

Turnaround time: See the turnaround timer at the top of this page which will give you a estimate of the turnaround time updated daily. Due to the volume of submissions, please allow 10-30 days (or longer) to receive your analysis back from CI during Get Repped Now. Turnaround time near the deadline may be months. We will send you an estimated turnaround time when you submit. The closer you are to the deadline, the longer the wait will likely be. If you need faster turnaround, contact us — we can do that, but the script will not be entered into Get Repped Now.

Due to the volume of submissions, writers cannot select or request specific readers during the GRN period. We will assign your material to whomever we think is the best fit for it based on genre, logline, and other info you provide, as well as our readers’ tastes, strengths and availability. We will pair your submission with a reader who specializes in that style (we have over 30 readers.) If you wish to select a specific reader, you can always submit as a non-Get Repped Now submission.

Offer open to everyone over the age of 18 worldwide where permitted by law.

All genres are accepted. We will match your submission with a reader(s) who is well-versed with your genre. If you have any special considerations or concerns, just email us!

Feature scripts must be below 130 pages to qualify; TV pilots below 70 pages for a one-hour, or below 40 pages (single-spaced, single camera-style) or 55 pages (double spaced, multi-camera style) for half-hours.

Short film scripts, spec TV episodes of established shows, treatments and outlines, plays and manuscripts are not eligible for Get Repped Now (but we’re always happy to review them.)

Screenplay and Teleplay submissions must be in industry standard format. If you are unfamiliar with these, pick up a copy of the Coverage Ink Spec Format & Style Guide Edition X.

At the end of your screenplay coverage report, the script will be rated from ‘pass’ to ‘recommend’ for both script and writer. But only the “script” score counts towards Get Repped Now. The ratings are: Pass Consider With Reservations Consider Strong Consider Recommend

The vast majority of scripts are a ‘pass.’ That doesn’t mean they’re not any good; it generally just means there’s work to be done. Anything above ‘consider’ is pretty rare.

A ‘consider with reservations’ for script, while laudable and a strong sign you are close to the bull’s-eye, , is not a ‘consider’ and thus doesn’t qualify. However, that often means you’re almost there, so get to work.

Resubmissions: You are welcome to resubmit any script or pilot as many times as you like during Get Repped Now. We have several amazing clients who, in the past, started out with a “pass” for script, and then through incredible effort, utilizing the notes they received from Coverage Ink, revised the script, resubmitted by the deadline and got a “consider.” Resubmissions are $10 off, so be sure to tick the box to get the discount.

If your script receives a consider, please allow a few weeks after the scripts are submitted to the panel to hear back. If they are interested, they will contact you directly. If they are not, Coverage Ink will get back to you with the reason they passed. What happens moving forward is up to them and to you.

If your script receives a consider, you will have the ability to do a polish on the script based on the coverage before submitting to the managers and agent. We strongly encourage you to do so.

Coverage Ink is NOT entitled to compensation for any deals that may occur with your material. We are merely providing an introduction and validation. We are not attaching ourselves in any way.

By participating in this offer, you agree to have your screenplay sent to our industry panelists for consideration for possible representation. If you do not wish to have your material sent out, just let us know.

The decision of whether or not to offer representation is up to the panel. There is no guarantee of any offer of representation. Coverage Ink advises and guides the considers and advocates for them, to help give them the best possible chances with our panel.

Coverage Ink is not affiliated in any way with any of the companies listed.

No attachments are allowed with script submissions – such as a pitch deck, bible, artwork, etc. – with advance permission from CI. Email us.

Coverage Ink team members, partners, and associates are not eligible to participate in Get Repped Now.

Coverage Ink has a no refunds policy. You are paying for an evaluation and opinion. You are of course entitled to disagree with your analysis, but that is not grounds for a refund. Follow-up questions are free up to appx. 10 minutes of the reader’s time. For more in-depth follow-ups, we’re happy to schedule a phone or Zoom consultation with the reader.

RUSHES are not available during Get Repped Now, but may be available for non-GRN submissions. Email us to check availability.

NO AI: Coverage Ink uses a team of experienced, pro industry readers to evaluate screenplays – never AI. It’s right there in the logo on our homepage – NO AI. EVER. DON’T EVEN ASK. Please be aware that some of our readers use Grammarly to check their spelling and grammar, and this has been known to trigger AI detectors. However, we promise real, live, flesh-and-blood readers with real opinions and no artificial anything. We’ve been doing this the exact same way since 2002.

We also do not accept scripts that were written using AI. We run all submissions through an AI detector. If you submit a script written using AI, your submission will be cancelled and refunded – MINUS a $20 KILL FEE.

Sorry, we do not allow swapping out of a new draft once you have submitted.

The decision of the Coverage Ink reader is final.
