I was checking out scriptexpress.com and they provide a script polish for 600$. The amount of change the original script undergoes is unbelievable. Here is the example they've posted on their page :

One of the most important things in writing a good script is having a strong voice. and it is highly looked for by contest judges. and this service does that for you . I've already asked reputable screenwriting contests and they said as long as they don't alter your story in any way and you are still considered the sole author of your screenplay, hiring an editor won't disqualify you, in fact we encourage you to do it. How is that possible ? I mean the polished script doesn't at all represent the voice of the writer in his/her original script. How is it that they don't get any credit for this?
