Writing skills are only part of what you need.
Steve Harper
Liberate your story. Live your best Creative Life.
You’re talented, hungry, focused. That’s why you’re here, looking for the next step, the step that all your education didn’t give you. I studied at Juilliard, the A.R.T. at Harvard and at Yale. I became certified as a coach through The Creativity Coaching Association. Then I came to Hollywood to be a writer. And I had no idea what I was doing. In all my schooling I learned to MAKE ART, but NO ONE taught me HOW TO NAVIGATE LIFE AS A PROFESSIONAL ARTIST.
That’s what I do with clients – give you TOOLS to face a wide variety of professional issues. I prep you for the tough moments in and out of writers’ rooms and meetings with execs, agents, managers and showrunners. You get new methodologies to use when you’re facing doubts or the jitters when you’re pitching a new project. You learn systems that work – that keep you grounded and focused no matter what. I cheer you on as you get traction, build momentum, sell your work, get hired and share your stories with the world. For the past twelve years I’ve been advising colleagues and coaching creatives like you with insights you won’t get anywhere else.
I’ve been where you are. And, I’ve had some big Hollywood wins writing for series television for more than a dozen years. I was Co-Executive Producer on the CBS series Tracker , Co-EP on DC’s Stargirl on the CW and HBO Max. I did Producer duties on God Friended Me on CBS, wrote for the Amazon Prime thriller Tell Me Your Secrets, ABC’s American Crime and the USA Network’s Covert Affairs. That means I’ve dealt with staffing and network notes, snarky industry meetings and negotiating with directors and actors on set. I’ve faced the blank page and pitched to a room full of blank faces. There are strategies to help you deal with all of it. Alongside my L.A. experience, I’ve been published and produced as a playwright, written films, and I created, produced, and acted in an multi-award winning Emmy Nominated original web series (SEND ME). Ready to expand your toolkit and upgrade your writing career and get the artistic life you want? Let’s talk.

You’ve studied, you’ve practiced, you’ve finished your pilot. But now you’ve got to show your script to an agent or manager, a showrunner or executive.
Will the material stick the landing? Is it the page turner you want it to be?
When someone in the industry reads your script you want it to be so good that they don’t want to put it down! Is that true for your work? I’ll take a look, cheer you on and (if need be) help you sharpen your material.
