Finally, An Affordable Screenwriting Mentorship Program!
Last year, there were a record setting 599 scripted television shows made across multiple platforms and 449 feature films released in the US and Canada alone. If you're a television or feature scribe and yours wasn’t one of them, I can help. Join me, a Hollywood veteran, for my affordable, screenwriting mentorship program.
Learn From A Hollywood Veteran And Experienced Coach
I've worked for years developing, selling, and analyzing features and television series. Through this experience, I learned that there are a lot of writers out there who have great ideas, but don’t know the rules for shaping them into scripts or pitches. And yes my friend, there are lots and lots of rules that you have to learn, even if you’re committed to breaking them. The good news is it’s not rocket science.
A Fully Customizable Program To Fit Any Budget
Work with me and I’ll give you honest, practical advice for crafting your story. At each step of the way, you'll get actionable takeaways and continuing support. Whether you’re creating an elevator pitch or knocking out a pilot or feature script I can give you the tools you need to improve your structure, character, dialogue, pacing and tone. And when I say, “work with me,” I mean just that. Either one-on-one or in a workshop situation, you'll always receive my personal attention. As a veteran who has been in the trenches for over twenty-years, I can guide you through the ups and downs of the entertainment industry.
One-On-One Coaching and Accountability Partner
Just like working out at a gym is more effective if you have a trainer, writing your feature script or TV pilot is easier if you have someone with the knowledge to steer you in the right direction and keep you moving forward on that path to success. Unlike a lot of other writing coaches, with me you get to take advantage of my years of learning from the best rather than working with a staff member or intern.
I offer an affordable, screenwriting coaching program. I don't just give notes, I'll work with you as little or as much as you want to get you writing. But I’ll also be honest with my feedback, so if you’re looking for a cheerleader, continue your search. Constructive, helpful, often witty, and sometimes blunt, my notes will always work toward one goal; to make you the best writer you can be. |
