Work one-on-one with an executive at mutually agreed upon times around your schedule. To start, you'll have a 15-minute strategy call with your executive to get the lay of the land for the month. Then, you’ll have email access to your executive throughout, plus four one-hour story notes sessions. Work on a single screenplay or multiple scripts plus get additional notes on your pitch, brand strategy, and career advice - work your mentorship to its fullest potential!
- Who is your story about (character/protagonist) and what do they want? (character goal)
- Who is standing in their way (antagonist) and/or what problem(s) are they facing, or what problems stand in the way of your character achieving their goal? (This is the plot!)
- What is the world of your story and when is it set?
- What is the genre and tone?
- Are there comparable movies or shows similar in tone? (e.g. it's
- Why you/why now? (What do you love about your story and why are you the perfect person to write it? Is there a personal connection? How is your story relevant now?)
Helping writers realize their vision/ideas onto the page and to hone their own unique voice. I'm open to a wide variety of genres and writers from different backgrounds, whether you're just dipping your toes in writing a pilot or feature for the first time, or whether you're rewriting/polishing your script for staffing or to land a manager/agent.
Evelyn Yves is a TV and feature writer who's written across a wide range of genres, from the CW's musical dramedy, KATY KEENE to MAX's hit YA/horror series, PRETTY LITTLE LIARS: ORIGINAL SIN. Most recently, she was a co-producer on the upcoming Netflix limited series, THE PERFECT COUPLE, starring Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber.
Born in Singapore and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia, Evelyn grew up surrounded by crazy rich Asians while her parents were going broke. With nothing more than a dollar and a dream, she moved to Los Angeles at 17, navigating the murky, shark-infested waters of Hollywood, higher-ed, and the U.S. immigration system. Having lived like both families on PARASITE, she uses her unique insight to tell David & Goliath stories about underdogs taking on big institutions.
She has been a top-5 finalist at the Austin Film Festival's AMC One-Hour Drama category and had her first taste of a writers' room while breaking stories on THE WEST WING in Aaron Sorkin's MasterClass. Her big break came through the Warner Bros. Writers' Workshop, which got her staffed on her first show.
