I just had the best hour-long notes call, maybe ever. Jayde was so incredibly interesting with insightful ideas on how to fix one of my Hallmark-esque holiday scripts. She not only had suggestions on plot points that needed to be worked on but we actually brainstormed ideas and came up with concrete solutions. As a producer, she offered great tips on how to write these things so they're more producible. It was clear that she'd put a great deal of thought into the script before our call, which was wonderfully professional. Jayde Siwy is the real deal; she knows this market well and I'm so glad I chose her for this consultation. Definitely got my money's worth.

Jayde was great! I appreciate her time and the excellent feedback on my script. It is great to hear what works and doesn’t work from her knowledge and experience with the genre. Her notes will help me make this script better. Thank you for this opportunity to get access to these wonderful professionals.
