Write the Script. Nail the Pitch. Own the Room.

Serious about getting your writing into the best goddamn shape of its life? I work with writers to fix what's not working, elevate what is, and talk about their story like a professional.

START HERE

Write the damn thing.

Screenwriter.

Strategist.

Creative Ally.

I’m a TV and film writer with decades in writers’ rooms, on sets, in pitch meetings, casting sessions, edit bays, early morning table reads, and late-night rewrites.

I’ve written and produced hundreds of hours of television across legacy media, cable, and streaming. I’ve written on Emmy and Golden Globe-winning shows, worked with Oscar-winning writers, directors, and actors, elbowed my way to the table, acted out, spoke up, and kept moving forward.

If you’re looking for guidance, you need someone who has lived to tell. If anything, I’m a survivor’s handbook for writers who want to do and be more.

MY BACKSTORY

THE WRITERS' ROOM

Group Coaching

FOR SCREENWRITERS AND AUTHORS

One Writers' Room. Six Weeks. Zero Excuses.

Great writing doesn’t happen in a room of one’s own. Unless you are Virginia Woolf. And that didn't work out so well for her.
Great scripts are not manufactured by AI plagiarism machines.
Great stories demand a voice and a heart, not an algorithm.

Instead, get coached. This is mentorship with deadlines and feedback from a working pro. “How?” you ask, because that is so you.
– Live notes and weekly accountability
– On-the-spot problem solving for structure, character, and plot
– Logline rewrites, pitch notes, worksheets and more

You’ll walk away with pages that are pitchable, polished, or at the very least, done. And you’ll be in the company of others who take the work as seriously as you do.

Stop Procrastinating

Do you have a story that must be told but you keep not telling it? Let's fix that.

Take action. If you don’t, you will continue to procrastinate. You will stay small. You will allow mediocrity to wend its way You will dream big but they will remain only dreams.
Leap, or wonder what would have happened how your life could have been better.
Do you have a manuscript in the drawer? Do you have a script idea gathering dust? Do you have a story that must be told but you keep not telling it? You’re not alone.

The Masterclass

Learn to pitch your work with confidence. One of the mistakes you’re making? You’re trying to sell your script. You're actually there to enroll others in your vision to create a TV series, a film, a book that needs to be made.
