Shape, develop and tell your story your way
My script, One Size Nude, was just named to the Second Round of the Austin Film Festival!
Check out the video just below here to see how I work.
As Drama Editor for Stone Canoe and a freelance dramaturg and writing coach, I read scripts every day. I make writing stronger and more successful. It’s my job. Theatre, film, TV, podcast, fiction, creative non-fiction, documentary. If it’s connected to writing and part of the industry, I’ve probably worked on something similar.
I can do coverage, give notes, or just keep my head down and implement whatever someone needs.
I’m co-founder of and a lead mentor for Animate BootCamp, an Executive at Distinctive Voices, LLC and Live Animation Studios and I regularly work with MYGOSH.co (Zurich) and Splinter Studios. I’m a certified teacher and trainer of the Michael Chekhov Acting Technique, work in voice-over, and both teach and coach at the university and professional levels.
Work with Me
Mentoring and Coaching
I work on narrative whether that’s with writers, storytellers, producers, or first-timers, whether it’s for the large or the small screen, direct to audience, a pitch, a presentation, or any stage of a script.
Educating and Training
I’m Drama Editor for the Stone Canoe literary journal and a National Michael Chekhov Association certified teacher and trainer of that acting technique. I have extensive teaching experience at the college and professional levels.
Writing Needs
Time, amounts, page counts and word densities are all determined per job and set down in a Letter of Agreement before I start. When it’s called for, a Non-Disclosure Agreement is signed at the same time. We determine together what I will deliver and by what date.
I help you build
your story.
What does it need?
Clarity in the character’s objective?
Sharpen the dialogue?
A structural change?
