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 it to me the way you'd tell a friend.
I’m interested in working with writers of any background who are passionate about building expansive, immersive worlds. I’m particularly drawn to genre writers exploring horror and the supernatural, sci-fi, fantasy, or even historical fiction.
Writers who are eager to learn how to navigate the industry, refine their ideas, map out the larger arc of the show, and practice pitching a series.
I'm open to everything at the moment.
