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

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 six different TV shows over 8 seasons of television and helped break more than 100 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.

• 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.
