Here are some of the questions I get asked the most often. If you have a question you don’t see below, reach out to me via the Contact Page or click on the button below to schedule a call with me.

QUESTION 1: What is the cost of a treatment note?

Every pitch, campaign or script is different. The base price is Rs. 15,000/- per script, but varies according to the complexities, requirements and deadlines.

QUESTION 2: How many days do you need for a treatment note?

I work according to the requirement. Sometimes, the deadlines are really tight and we have managed to send out a winning pitch in as less as 5 hours. Ideally, two to three days is a comfortable window for any treatment note.

QUESTION 3: Do you bargain in a manner that – double the rate if we win it and half the rate if we don’t?

No. Our job is to create a treatment note you are proud to call your own. Whether you get the job or no depends on multiple factors, very well known to everyone. Unlike a few international treatment writers, I don’t claim to win you a pitch. I claim to help you in creating your best pitch.

QUESTION 4: Who all have you worked with?

The reason why I have testimonials from producers only is because I don’t wish to namedrop here. After all, this is ghost writing and I have to stay true to my commitment to not disclose the names of the directors I work with. Though, I would like to proudly say that I did have a couple of clients that gave me ‘fan’ moments.

QUESTION 5: Do you work for directors from cities other than Mumbai?

Yes, only if the producer has a trusted name. Have had a few unpleasant experiences with a couple of newbie producers from Delhi, which made vary of taking up work from other cities. But, directors from Goa and Bangalore have been more than prompt in their payments. Afterall, all our work anyways happens from our work place, so doesn’t matter if we receive the brief from Mumbai or Chennai, after all it’s all via internet.

QUESTION 6: Do you work as a DA on shoot?

No. I only write treatment notes and that too from my work place and not from the client’s office.

QUESTION 7: Is this really your full time job?

Yes it is. After becoming a mother, I had to take a call on my priorities and that’s when the idea of shoots was kept on the back burner for at least a couple of years. That’s when I started writing treatments for the directors I had assisted or worked with before. Slowly, the word spread and I started receiving calls from unknown people as well. One fine day, I woke up to realise that this could be pursued more seriously because it created an ideal balance between work and family. Since then, I have been at it. And now, I even have a website!! Hurray!
