What to Expect
It's important for every writer to have a solid script AND to show executives that they are collaborative and professional to work with. Limited to only 5 writers, these 2-week Rewrite Clinics are designed to give writers an opportunity to develop a solid script and collaborate with an industry professional.
The executive will read your script and meet with you one-on-one for 25 minutes. You'll receive notes from your executive, get to know them, and let them get to know you!
Then you will have a week between sessions to revise your pages and in the second roundtable, you'll have another 25-minute meeting to talk about the submitted revisions.
Joining Sessions
Rewrite Clinics meet online via virtual classroom utilizing video conferencing software ZOOM.

I cannot recommend Audrey enough - from moment one, she brought in a down to earth real-person demeanor, and then when we got into the work, her feedback was actionable, no-bullsh*t, and the real deal. She has a steady finger on the pulse of this industry & knows what works and what doesn't. I'm so grateful for the few sessions I've done with Audrey, all of which eventually led to a working relationship where she's now taking out some of my scripts for staffing & development opportunities!
~ Tristan J Shuler, TV Writer
Audrey is very straight-forward, blunt even. Not for everyone, but for my stubborn writer brain, it worked perfectly! She makes sure to start and end each session with positive aspects & compliments, and she's very helpful if you're actually open to hearing what she's saying. She's great at structure and even gives specific solutions to page problems to make the story an easier read. I would recommend Audrey to any writer who is serious about starting their career and is not easily defensive when getting notes about structure.
~ Anonymous Screenwriter
Audrey was really helpful. I've heard similar notes about my structure before, but I never heard it explained as clearly and concretely as Audrey did. I'm so glad I signed up for this session and was able to connect with Audrey!
