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 love a writer who has a command over their story and knows the information confidently and delivers it as such. I always love a good character exploration and having at least part of the story be grounded in reality or a relatable human. A conversational style delivery is very much appreciated, since I write in that style, but it's not absolutely necessary. My favorite thing about a good pitch is when the writer brings me into it and pulls my interest in early. A punchy opener/opening scene is always a good hook for me, too.
Cerebral dramas with cultural relevance like THEM and JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH. Character driven shows with action like HUNTERS, OZARK, and STATION 11. Comedies that show the quirkiest/most irreverent sides of humanity like HACKS and IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA.
Nothing involving the 45th president. I like sci-fi, but hard sci-fi is a bit too dense, most of the time, and I lose interest quickly. I love YA, but not when it feels immature.
