Individualized proposals
We do not offer fixed packages or public pricing. Each commission receives an individualized proposal based on writing scope, project complexity, and development requirements.
A separate service
Commissioned writing is distinct from our original properties. Original 9th Room stories are offered for rights-retaining production partnerships; commissioned work carries individually negotiated fees, deliverables, and ownership terms.
Inside our creative process
Your Vision. Our Writers. One Extraordinary Story.
At 9th Room Originals, we believe the best stories begin with a conversation.
Our commissioned screenwriting services were designed specifically for independent filmmakers and producers who have a creative vision and need an experienced storytelling partner to help develop it.
Whether you arrive with a fully formed idea or the beginning of a concept, our three-stage writing process provides a clear, collaborative path from imagination to finished screenplay.
01

Screenplay Development & Delivery
From Concept to the Written Screen.
With your approved story blueprint, our writers begin developing the complete screenplay.
Your script is written in a professional screenplay format, with attention to narrative structure, character development, dialogue, pacing, and cinematic storytelling.
Once the first draft is complete, we provide an opportunity for review and a consolidated round of revisions within the agreed scope.
What you receive
- —A complete first-draft screenplay
- —One agreed round of revisions
- —A finalized screenplay in PDF format
- —The approved synopsis and supporting story-development materials
- —A final project handoff with the deliverables specified in your agreement
Your creative investment
Every Story Is Unique. Every Proposal Is Personalized.
Our commissioned writing services are professionally priced according to the format, length, creative complexity, and development requirements of your project.
Following our initial project discussion, we prepare a customized proposal outlining the scope of work, creative deliverables, development schedule, total writing fee, and payment milestones.
Each stage forms part of an agreed commissioned-writing package. Work begins once the project agreement and initial payment requirements are completed.
Ownership, usage rights, confidentiality, revisions, and delivery terms are established in writing before development begins.
Let's Develop Your Story.
You have the vision. We have the passion for storytelling.
Together, we can create something worth bringing to the screen.
