This session format is available only to writers in our Top Tier Program.
This session includes 2 x 30 minute Zoom meetings.
In the first meeting, the exec will review the feature script OR pilot and bible (if provided) and meet with the writer via Zoom for 30 minutes to provide rewrite notes.
The writer will rewrite their script with the markup switch on and send it back to the exec to read and then meet with the exec via Zoom for a second 30 minutes to receive further feedback on their script.
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.
