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!

Any and all stories with a fun thriller engine (psychological thriller, action thriller, erotic thriller, heist, etc), female-forward stories, diverse voices, high-concept stories, grounded genre stories (sci fi and horror), satire.
