Our Services
Comprehensive Edit & Critique
We know how to make your work sing, are eager to support you in the process, and, most importantly, we believe in you. We bring decades of nuanced writing instruction to a full, substantial review of your creative project, complete with line edits and annotated notes. We consider and address all aspects of craft, including structure, plot, character development, language, pacing, conflict and tone. In a comprehensive editorial letter, we identify the strengths of your project and suggest specific action steps to enhance its overall quality and evolution. Once you’ve had the opportunity to process our notes, we’ll have a phone or virtual discussion to address any questions you may have.

Script Assessment
Conceiving your project is one thing—crafting it into a polished, professionally formatted script is another. Even if you’ve got a great premise, indelible characters, and a plot that really moves, you may need help to produce the work that finally convinces an agent or a creative exec to get to “yes.” Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned veteran, we'll help you hone your concept, sharpen your writing, and make your script a success. In a comprehensive coverage, we’ll deliver 3-4 pages of detailed analysis on character, plot, dialogue, and concept. We’ll also provide a standard Pass, Consider, or Recommend rating. If you need more than standard script coverage, we can revise, polish, edit, proofread and format your script as well.
