Work one-on-one with an executive at mutually agreed upon times around your schedule. To start, you'll have a 15-minute strategy call with your executive to get the lay of the land for the month. Then, you’ll have email access to your executive throughout, plus four one-hour story notes sessions. Work on a single screenplay or multiple scripts plus get additional notes on your pitch, brand strategy, and career advice - work your mentorship to its fullest potential!
Tell me about you. Your story is less interesting than you - I promise!
What is it about your life right now that makes you want to tell this story?
I'm particularly interested in writers who are wrestling with something emotional or spiritual. I'm less interested in a twisty plot, and more interested in deep feeling.
