Do you feel like you have a whole host of ideas rattling around in your head but have no idea which one to focus on? Do you want guidance and advice as you prepare something new? Do you want a weekly meeting with tailored assignments to hold you accountable as you develop your next project?
If you said yes to any of these, then an Incubator is just what the doctor ordered! This four-week class will put you through your development paces and ensure that you get writing on the best foot possible.
This Class Will Cover:
- Story structure
- Keeping conflict interesting and escalating
- Crafting satisfying character arcs
- And more!
At Futurific we are focused on protopian content - so telling stories that imagine better futures and world's we'd want to live in. We often take on grounded genre projects, but are open to all genres within this scope. I am particularly interested in promoting underrepresented voices and unique perspectives, especially female-driven projects.

Sarah gave me incredible notes on my pilot. She was patient, open, and generous beyond belief! Overall, she was open to giving 'the note behind the note' (both kind and also straight to the point, no BS, which I love). Sarah was also willing to brainstorm with me in a fun, collaborative way. I highly recommend her.

Truly exceptional. As a result of my one hour consultation with Sarah, I discovered a way to powerfully restructure my first 15 pages in a way that I hadn't found before. Her notes were instructive and insightful, and she was also an incredible listener and a generous conversationalist. She helped me explore and identify numerous ways I could better accomplish my script goals while at the same time making me feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged in the process. Her influence on my work was invaluable and she will be without question the first person I turn to for a script consultation in the future.
