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!
I am always interested stories that reflect the current global sociopolitical issues - including environmental conservation, equality, socioeconomic disparities. Female and POC driven stories. Open to any great story.

I just had the best hour-long notes call, maybe ever. Jayde was so incredibly interesting with insightful ideas on how to fix one of my Hallmark-esque holiday scripts. She not only had suggestions on plot points that needed to be worked on but we actually brainstormed ideas and came up with concrete solutions. As a producer, she offered great tips on how to write these things so they're more producible. It was clear that she'd put a great deal of thought into the script before our call, which was wonderfully professional. Jayde Siwy is the real deal; she knows this market well and I'm so glad I chose her for this consultation. Definitely got my money's worth.

Jayde was great! I appreciate her time and the excellent feedback on my script. It is great to hear what works and doesn’t work from her knowledge and experience with the genre. Her notes will help me make this script better. Thank you for this opportunity to get access to these wonderful professionals.
