Submission guide update needed: Script consultants

The Writers guide says:

  • Script doctors and script consultants belong in the miscellaneous crew section.

Some time ago a Script & Continuity department was created, and it looks like most script consultant credits were moved to that section, so I assume they belong there.

It looks like most script doctor credits remain in Additional Crew, though there are some in Script & Continuity as well. There are not many script doctor credits in general.

Hi, Michelle​:

The applicable updates have yet to be implemented. I keep adding the 'script consultants' to the Script & Continuity department, but every time I see the directive "Script doctors and script consultants belong in the miscellaneous crew section" in the writers' guide, I cringe a little.

Hi @Peter_pbn & @ljdoncel -

Thanks again for requesting these Help Guide updates, I wanted to provide an update on the issue. We are so sorry it has taken this amount of time to resolve, due to our backlog we don't have a timeframe on when the expected updates will be reviewed, for this reason we are closing this thread but know that we are still tracking the request and will pick it up when we have the bandwidth to handle it.
