I coach screenwriters with a process based on the idea that story-structure need not be simply an analytical process but an emotional one. To learn words in a language, we understand both the function and meaning of those words. What if story-structure was the same? What if we could become fluent in the language of storytelling?

I work from a knowledge that all writers exist naturally on a spectrum from Intuitive to Constructive. Both ends of this spectrum are needed to write a final draft, meaning that a writer ought to endeavor to be at the center of this spectrum as they work. Over four months, I coach Intuitive writers to use the skills they have naturally to become equally Constructive. With Constructive writers, I coach them in bringing out their intuition.

With many writing coaches out there, writers come away with little more than a deeper understanding of their story, characters, or plot. With me, writers will go through three drafts over just four months - a rough draft, a second pass, and a polish. As a filmmaker myself, my commitment to those I work with is that they can do something with their script out in the world.
