TV pilot coverage

How to get notes on a pilot

• Step 1. Check the format first: single camera and multi camera pilots are laid out differently. The TV script format guide and the format checker cover both.

• Step 2. Upload the pilot to the free quick read (PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, Word or text). It takes about twenty seconds and needs no account.

• Step 3. Fix the first thing it names, then reverse outline the pilot to see each scene on a card and check where your act outs fall.

• Step 4. Check the page count against the runtime you are writing for with the pages to minutes calculator.

• Step 5. Run the rewrite again. If you want page-by-page notes, the optional $29 deep report ties every note to a page or scene.

What it reads and what it does not

• ScriptLix has no separate TV mode. It reads the pages you give it, so it judges the pilot on the page, not your series bible or later seasons.

• The deep report’s structure score measures where breaks fall in your pages. It does not check them against a network’s act format, so do that yourself.

• There is no human reader and no route to buyers. Use it to find the weak pages before a person reads the pilot.

Questions writers ask

Can I get free coverage on a TV pilot?

Yes. The ScriptLix quick read takes any script, pilots included, and returns a 1 to 100 score, notes and the first thing to fix, free and with no account.

Does ScriptLix know TV act structure?

Not specifically. It reads a pilot the same way it reads a feature, so check act outs, cold open and tag against our TV script format guide.

How long should a TV pilot be?

It depends on the format. Use the pages to minutes calculator and the how to write a TV pilot guide to check the range for yours.

Is my pilot kept private?

Your pages are never published, shared or sold. The text is sent to DeepSeek and OpenAI to write notes, and DeepSeek's terms allow it to use inputs.
