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 just had the best hour-long notes call, maybe ever. Jayde was so incredibly interesting with insightful ideas on how to fix one of my Hallmark-esque holiday scripts. She not only had suggestions on plot points that needed to be worked on but we actually brainstormed ideas and came up with concrete solutions. As a producer, she offered great tips on how to write these things so they're more producible. It was clear that she'd put a great deal of thought into the script before our call, which was wonderfully professional. Jayde Siwy is the real deal; she knows this market well and I'm so glad I chose her for this consultation. Definitely got my money's worth.

Jayde was great! I appreciate her time and the excellent feedback on my script. It is great to hear what works and doesn’t work from her knowledge and experience with the genre. Her notes will help me make this script better. Thank you for this opportunity to get access to these wonderful professionals.

The rewrite clinic I did with Jayde was very helpful. Her thoughtful feedback on my script showed a nuanced understanding for character and really helped me to deepen the arc of my script. The notes were specific and clear in a way that could be easily incorporated into the script. I felt like she really "got" what I was doing. I can definitely recommend taking a rewrite clinic with Jayde!
