Every coaching package focuses on one of two flavors:

Writing career strategy: Anything you’re facing in your professional writing life outside of the writing itself.

Your Writing Material: Anything involving what’s on the page and all the stuff that gets you to the page.

Both: A mix of tackling career issues and dealing with what’s on the page.

Career Strategy

This is one of the most neglected aspects of being a professional writer.

You’ve struggled with the unwritten rules of a Hollywood writing career. This coaching framework removes the mystery and restores your confidence in knowing how to proceed.

We do that by zeroing in on these essential aspects:

a) The Inner Game of Hollywood Writing

Thriving in Hollywood isn’t just about writing—it’s about knowing yourself and sustaining yourself for the long haul. The coaching process can guide you through these key areas:

Explore who you are and what you bring to the table. Uncover your authentic self and learn to tell your story in a way that resonates with agents, execs, showrunners and producers. Learn to promote yourself with confidence, push past resistance, set healthy boundaries, and maintain balance in an industry that’s always demanding. Discover how and when to ask for help, what to ask for, how to protect your energy, and how to truly celebrate your wins.

b) The Outer Game of Hollywood Writing

There are skills and strategies you need to navigate within the entertainment industry. Here we get into the nitty-gritty: effective networking – who to meet and how to keep in touch, managing your team (agents, managers, attorneys) and mastering the art and theory behind pitching projects. We tackle how to respond to industry changes and trends, develop your own toolkit for thriving in the writers’ room, and how to collaborate successfully with others. You’re not just a writer—you’re running a business and it’s vital to know how to lead that business with clarity and vision.

c) The Plan of Attack

Having a game plan is essential. We can collaborate on a clear, actionable roadmap designed to help you establish goals and break them down into manageable steps. We’ll talk about effective methods to stay accountable as you execute your vision and what to do when you get stuck along the way. The ultimate skill is to balance your creative work with the practical realities of deadlines, meetings, and other obligations. All while making time for yourself. You’ll come away with a sustainable routine that keeps you move forward enabling you to produce your best work, without burning out.

The Material Punch-Up

In addition to getting your Inner Game / Outer Game and Plan of Attack on point, you’ve got to have a solid portfolio of writing samples. Does your work represent you in the most positive light? If you want to sharpen your samples or need feedback, you’ve come to the right place.

Struggling through a revision? Looking for guidance on pitching your next big idea? Need help developing a script? I’ll be your sounding board and your guide, bringing my professional expertise to your project. We’ll work through material— at any stage from the initial spark of an idea (Your First Great Script) to the final draft. In-depth work can be done in a coaching package over several months (Your Fabulous Writing Career), or you can choose script consulting (The Page-by-Page Polish) for a one-time read and deep notes. I’ll support you in making sure your work is solid and professional. Elevate your writing to the next level, and ready to make a real impact in the industry.
