What I Do
I've been working in scripted development - as either a writer, story producer, storyliner, script editor, script doctor, treatment writer or scripted development executive - for more than 20 years.
In that time I've garnered one Golden Lion award, one Webby win, an Emmy nomination, a BAFTA shortlisting, and a bout of IBS.
But what I've also gained is a deep knowledge and professional understanding of story and structure that I love applying to projects at all and any stages of the creative process.
Who I've Worked With
What Do You Need?
Maybe you have a script that isn't quite flying off the page the way you want it to.
Perhaps that script is just an idea that you're struggling to formalise.
Are you looking to adapt a book for the screen but not sure where to start?
Or you've already shot something and would relish a fresh pair of eyes on the first cut.
I have experience of jumping onto creative projects at almost any and every stage, help you figure out what's working well, what isn't, and suggest some practical ways forward.
How I Can Help
Script Reports
Detailed written analysis tailored to an individual script, followed by one follow-up consultation to discuss the report, explore given notes, clarify any questions, and workshop further solutions.
Project Development
Story and structural consultancy for writers, directors and producers — from early ideas, initial treatments or pitching, all the way through to offering practical creative notes on early cuts in post-production.
