Testimonials

I LOVED my consultation. Specific notes after a careful read, Todd was really easy to talk to and great about making sure I was getting the most out of his notes, answering any questions I had. I'm super excited to rewrite! I would love to work with Todd again.

~ Jenny Taylor-Whitehorn, Screenwriter

I really benefited from the back and forth with Todd during our consultation. He brought care and humanity to our consultation and to the detail of feedback that will improve my future scripts in general and specifically in the Hallmark space that was the focus of the session.

~ V.B., Screenwriter
