Services

Script Notes

Script Notes

I give you detailed overall and page notes on your script, then follow up with a 60-minute call to discuss the notes. Revised draft notes available at a reduced rate, depending on the extent of revisions. I work on dramas (one-hour), comedies (half-hour), and features. I can also give you notes on a spec episode for a fellowship application.

Pitch notes & Pitch Rehearsal

Pitch notes & Pitch Rehearsal

Pitch notes: I give you detailed notes on your pitch document or treatment, including concept, pilot summary, characters, season arcs, themes, etc. Then follow up with a call to discuss the notes. PLUS, I will email you the pitch template agencies, studios and networks use, but most beginner writers don’t know about.

Pitch Rehearsal: Ready to pitch but not quite ready to face executives in a room? You need a pitch rehearsal! I am your “friendly audience!” Give me your 15-20 minute pitch and I will give you detailed feedback on both content and delivery. You only get one shot at this – shouldn’t you invest in making it count?

Workshops
