This is a top-level, full service script consult like you’ve never imagined – granular feedback from an experienced professional. Kind, but honest.

First: please be aware of something.

If you rely on your significant other, your mom, or your competitive colleague to be your reader, you may not get the results you’re looking for. While their encouragement might feel nice, they will likely not be able to give you the depth and breadth of insightful notes on a professional scale that you’ll want to receive before you submit your script to a writing opportunity, agent, manager, or any type of professional program or contest.

Your work is too valuable to risk being derailed by a well-meaning but untested source. After working for so long on your project, why settle now for a few cursory reviews and general comments (and probably a few wack-a-doodle “new ideas” thrown in)? You also run the risk of harsh and destructive feedback that might leave you abandoning your work. (That has certainly happened to me.)

I’ve worked on multiple screenplays and more than 20 plays. I’ve been a writer on five different TV shows over 7 seasons of television and helped break more than 90 episodes. The insights I bring to your work will be sharp, based equally on analysis of technique and character and are focused on your vision.

Here’s what I offer:

• A conversation prior to reading to hear what feedback you’re looking for.
• A read-through of your work focused on the story YOU want to tell.
• Notes in a PDF of your document (compliments about exciting turns, notes about formatting, style and story confusion.)
• A write-up of my findings.
• A meeting where we review what you’ve written, page-by-page (up to 90 minutes).

This is a rigorous and yet gentle process that’s aims toward a solid professionally executed version of what YOU intended to write. It’s a comprehensive service bringing keen attention to your work at a level you’re not likely to find anywhere else. This package is excellent for pitch documents, outlines, TV scripts, plays and screenplays.

“…I came to Steve with conflicting notes from colleagues on my pilot. Not only did Steve clarify those notes with thoughtful feedback, but he provided practical solutions. Now my pilot as structural and thematic clarity. Steve is a compassionate coach who helps elucidate the story only you can tell.” – Nick Job, screenwriter, actor

“…such an honor to get such great notes from a working writer, who also believes in writers.” – Ivana Shein, playwright, screenwriter, actor
