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!
Please focus on character, structure, and tone! I need to get a sense of major character arcs and the inflection/turning points in story, and where you want this to go and how I should feel at the end.
I’d love to work with writers interested in family stories, complicated female friendship stories, and/or supernatural stories. For shows, I’m interested in one-hour ensemble ongoing. For features, I’m primarily interested in films up to $5mm that are contained, character-driven, with a clear conceptual or character edge.
I’m not interested in fantasy, space operas, or biopics at the moment.
