Services for writers and creators.
Concept Development.
The writing partner you never knew you needed.
The early development phase - when it’s just you trying to put some meat on the bones of your idea - kinda sucks!
It’s sooo much better when you have a partner to bounce ideas around with.
So, I invite you to borrow my brain for half a day.
I’ll do a deep dive on your existing materials, then we’ll spend time together refining your concept and story, and make a plan for your next steps in getting it ready for early-stage pitching and funding rounds.
Script Editing.
Get your story running.
Let’s climb under the hood of your script, figure out where it's working and where it isn't and why, and find ways to repair it.
I’ll ensure your scripts captivate, intrigue, carry an emotional truth and give us characters who jump off the page.
I can join the project at any stage of development and work with you on a few rounds of drafts.
Coaching + Accountability.
There’s a reason the term ‘script midwife’ is a thing.
Actually getting a script written is hard! It’s laborious and often lonely without someone to bounce ideas off of.
Some writers find it useful to regularly meet with someone objective. Someone who knows their project, their ambitions, their personal challenges, their writing style.
As well as being an accountability partner, we’ll use our sessions to develop your project, improve your craft, and make creative and strategic decisions.
“Writers who don’t see the value in having a script coach don’t set themselves up for success.”
— Kate Separovich, Independent Producer
FAQs
What is it like to work with you?
Hopefully fun, challenging, motivating and creatively satisfying.
I value building writers up rather than tearing them down with feedback. My main aim is always to get to the heart of what you want to say and to help you fashion your story up around it.
I’m a sounding board for ideas, helping you go from one draft to the next and being there alongside you as you navigate feedback coming in from your producers, commissioners and executives.
