SERVICES:  

I will read your emailed script and make detailed notes in boldface, addressing story structure, character and dialogue suggestions, ideas for casting, pitching and marketing and a realistic appraisal of commercial potential. I then email back your work and set up a time for a one-hour phone consultation, an enjoyable “brainstorming” session in which we discuss in a broader and more creative way solutions to dilemmas in the work.

For this phone consultation, I call you if you live in the United States. Otherwise, telephone charges are your responsibility.  Foreign clients often use Skype for free. I audiotape the phone consultation through my speakerphone and send the audio tape to you via postal mail at my expense.

For those not wishing a telephone consultation, additional written notes may be provided.

Half of all clients return for additional consultation on the same or other projects.
