Script coordinator

A script coordinator is a role in the production of a film or television series.

On a television series the script coordinator is responsible for liaising between the writing and production departments.

The writers deliver the first draft of a script to the script coordinator who prepares it for the production team and handles any clearance issues.

Many script coordinators are also responsible for foreign language translations and compiling a show bible that tracks plot points and character introductions as a reference tool.

A script coordinator is considered a junior role in the writing staff and becoming a full-time screenwriter is typically a common promotion from being a script coordinator.
