About Us
Measuring the Hidden Value Inside Intellectual Property
Thank you for stopping by.
NoQueryLetter.com (NQL) was founded on a simple belief:
Intellectual property should be measurable.
For decades, screenplays, manuscripts, and other narrative assets have been evaluated primarily through subjective opinion. Writers, producers, publishers, and investors have often relied on coverage, individual readers, and instinct when making decisions about development, acquisition, adaptation, and financing.
NQL was created to bring greater consistency, transparency, and analytical rigor to the evaluation of creative work.
Today, NQL’s proprietary narrative intelligence platform is supported by five patent-pending innovations focused on screenplay evaluation, manuscript evaluation, adaptation analysis, narrative transformation, and intellectual property measurement.
We are not a coverage service.
We are not a marketplace for pitches.
We are an intellectual property measurement platform designed to evaluate narrative assets based on execution, structure, commercial characteristics, adaptation potential, and broader development opportunities.
Our mission is simple:
Measure the hidden value inside intellectual property.
How We Evaluate
Every screenplay and manuscript submitted to NoQueryLetter.com is evaluated using proprietary software and knowledge bases developed through extensive research of produced films, published literary works, and narrative storytelling frameworks. The focus is always on execution — not taste, trends, or popularity.
Our systems are designed to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and characteristics within a narrative asset using structured analytical frameworks developed specifically for story evaluation.
Unlike generative AI platforms, NQL does not create stories. NQL evaluates them.
Our proprietary systems support the evaluation of screenplays, manuscripts, adaptation opportunities, narrative transformation potential, and commercial characteristics across film and publishing.
How Your Work Is Handled
We take intellectual property protection seriously.
When you submit material to NQL:
• We use analytical, decision-support technology.
• We do not use public AI knowledge bases.
• We do not train AI models on submitted material.
• We do not outsource judgment to generative AI systems.
• Your work remains your work.
Submitted material is evaluated and never absorbed, scraped, repurposed, or incorporated into public training systems.
Because we review unsolicited material, all submissions require agreement to a standard release form.
We retain evaluation and scoring data solely to support future comparisons, rewrites, updates, and resubmissions.
Built for Writers. Useful to the Industry.
NQL was built by writers who understand the challenges of navigating subjective evaluation systems.
Today, our platform serves a broader mission: helping writers, producers, publishers, and industry professionals better understand the strengths and potential of intellectual property through consistent, structured analysis.
Our growing suite of systems includes:
• SGS (Screenplay Grading System)
• SRP (Screenplay Rewrite Plan)
• MGS (Manuscript Grading System)
• CAR (Cinematic Adaptation Report)
• SNR (Script-to-Novel Report)
• CEA (Commercial Exploitation Assessment)
Together, these systems represent a new approach to evaluating intellectual property across film and publishing.
We accept screenplay and manuscript submissions from creators worldwide across all genres and categories.
If you believe stories should be judged on the work itself rather than the strength of a pitch, you’re in the right place.
“Backed by extensive research and data analysis, NQL’s revolutionary
platform combines technology and love of storytelling in a way that
really helps writers. Not only did I get optioned, the process was fast
and easy! Now, with solid feedback on my screenplay’s marketability, I
can focus on the next steps instead of running in circles.”John Edwards

- A cover page is optional. Don’t worry, you will enter your contact information in our submission form.
- Before you submit make sure your script has a WGA or US Copyright. We don’t need it for your submission but strongly recommend you have at least applied for it. However, you will be required to have it if we decide to option your script.
- Maximum PDF file size is 1MB.
How this works:
- On the Submission Form, be very specific about the nature of your story when you describe your screenplay in the genre section of the submission page. All sorts of genre-mashups are welcome. However, you should know the difference between a comedy with horror elements and a horror with comedy elements. Another example, know the difference between a love story with detective elements and a detective story with love elements. And so on. If you do not accurately describe the genre(s) it will affect your score. Know your story, your genre(s) and genre conventions. For more examples and detail read #1 in FAQs.
- Your script will be read and scored using the FilmIQ™ Screenplay Grading System™. The aggregate category scores will be your total script score out of 100. In addition to the script score, we will assign a FilmIQ™ Marketability Score™ out of 10.
- Now, it’s time to get excited. If your script scores a 90 or greater with a marketability score of 9 or higher, you will be optioned and receive the full report on your script. Congratulations, stop writing! If interested, we can offer writer representation which will give you access to the StoryForge™ Suite of Writers Tools we’ve developed.
- If your script scores 88 and higher with a marketability score of 8 or greater, you will be considered for an option. Let’s talk polish. Look at the summary report with overall weaknesses we’ll send you, do a rewrite and resubmit.
- If you score between 70 and 85, we will provide you a summary report with the overall weaknesses. Focus on those weaknesses, rewrite, then resubmit.
- If you score below 70, you need to polish your screenwriting skills and/or rethink your story altogether. Focus on the overall weaknesses we’ll send and keep writing, don’t give up.
- You will be emailed with your scores within 7 days. You will get a call from one of the producers if your script meets our standard for optioning, providing you give us your phone number, otherwise you will be notified by email. In our opinion, getting a call to discuss an option is more exciting. You can judge how you did by taking a look at #2 on the FAQ page where we have s films.
