I’ve been where you are. And, I’ve had some big Hollywood wins writing and producing series television for more than a dozen years. I studied at Juilliard, the A.R.T. at Harvard and at Yale. I became certified as a coach through The Creativity Coaching Association.
Here’s how I can help you:
In our 30-minute discovery call we’ll talk about the main things that get people stuck:
You might not know how to take care of yourself through the ups and downs of an unpredictable career. You haven’t mastered the INSIDE GAME of Hollywood.
You might not know how to effectively interact with gatekeepers, other writers, showrunners, and executives. You haven’t mastered the OUTSIDE GAME of Hollywood.
You might not have a grasp on your creative vision in concrete, step-by-step goals. You haven’t mastered the PLANNING GAME for your career.
You might not have solid, professional material. You may need to up your SCRIPT GAME to be competitive in the industry.
By the end of our discovery call, you’ll have a keener sense of your blind spots and the possibilities for improvement. If you work with me, we’ll develop a strategy to strengthen your game and enhance the natural magic you bring to the table.
Liberate Your Story…
Liberate your story. Live your best Creative Life.
I studied at Juilliard, the A.R.T. at Harvard and at Yale. I became certified as a coach through The Creativity Coaching Association. Then I came to Hollywood to be a writer. And I had no idea what I was doing. In all my schooling I learned to MAKE ART, but NO ONE taught me HOW TO NAVIGATE LIFE AS A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST.
I’m Steve Harper
I give you tools to face a wide variety of professional issues. I prep you for the tough moments in and out of writers’ rooms and meetings with execs, agents, managers and showrunners. You get new methodologies to use when you’re facing doubts or the jitters when you’re pitching a new project. You learn systems that work – that keep you grounded and focused no matter what. I cheer you on as you get traction, build momentum, sell your work, get hired and share your stories with the world. For the past twelve years I’ve been advising colleagues and coaching creatives like you with insights you won’t get anywhere else.
I’ve been where you are. And, I’ve had some big Hollywood wins writing for series television for more than a dozen years. I was Co-Executive Producer on the CBS series Tracker , Co-EP on DC’s Stargirl on the CW and HBO Max. I did Producer duties on God Friended Me on CBS, wrote for the Amazon Prime thriller Tell Me Your Secrets, ABC’s American Crime and the USA Network’s Covert Affairs. That means I’ve dealt with staffing and network notes, snarky industry meetings and negotiating with directors and actors on set. I’ve faced the blank page and pitched to a room full of blank faces. There are strategies to help you deal with all of it. Alongside my L.A. experience, I’ve been published and produced as a playwright, written films, and I created, produced, and acted in an multi-award winning Emmy Nominated original web series (SEND ME).
