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.

Female-forward material. Originality. A new twist on an old tale. BIPOC. Genre mashups like PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES—but it must make sense and work. YA. Half-Hour Dramedies. Projects based on books or True Stories.
A graduate of Michigan State University with a BFA in English, Theatre, and Education, Val McLeroy is currently a Manager/Producer at Epigram Entertainment where she and her producing partner Doug Draizin currently have writers working with Amazon, eOne, NBC, Netflix, and Robert Zemeckis' company. Previously, Val worked as a development and production executive at companies including Atlantic Entertainment (TEEN WOLF) and Green/Epstein Productions (IT). Val has also produced several TV movies, two of which she wrote for Lifetime: HEART OF THE STORM and SPIRIT which has been nominated for a Humanitas award. As a writer and former teacher of English and Drama, Val understands the needs and concerns of writers and loves mentoring emerging talent.
By far the best script feedback I've received. Val was clear about what worked, specific about what didn't, offered practical fixes and most importantly, wasn't afraid to name the elephant in the room - something prior exec's were unable or unwilling to do. But it's the absolute game-changer and I am beyond grateful.
