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!
Most of my experience is in ongoing and limited series for cable and streaming platforms so I am most knowledgeable about developing, selling and producing for these platforms. I have worked across a very wide range of genres and I firmly believe the best work comes from the ideas that writers can't stop thinking about, the ideas that they are most passionate about. I also have a love for a great broadcast show like HOUSE, PARKS AND RECREATION or PARENTHOOD. I've obviously worked in sci-fi and genre at Bad Robot, my personal favorite nerdy space is anything with time travel, but I truly love reading a very wide variety of writers and their work!

Very well prepared. This was a Career Consultation, so I had submitted multiple documents and she had clearly reviewed them all, and had helpful thoughts. Her feedback was the very definition of constructive criticism - very clear notes that got at the heart of the script/show, presented in a way that felt collaborative and collegial, rather than dictatorial. Plus she is just easy to talk to. Highly, highly recommend her.
