Testimonials

In such a short time, Andrew provided incredibly important and insightful feedback and was at the same time generous, funny, and grounded. Thank you so much to him!

~ -Alex, Screenwriter

Andrew was very good at emphasizing the positive aspects of every script, whether or not he came down positively or negatively overall. He was very considerate and well spoken on how he conveyed criticism but it was always clear he was familiar with the material and was speaking from a wealth of knowledge in the industry.

~ Jeremy Palmer, Screenwriter

After only a short "first 15 consultation" with Andrew, I knew I wanted to work with him even more, so I booked a full hour consultation with him. I submitted a pilot script that I had completed several months ago, and was proud of getting to the end of it. But the more I sat with it, the more I felt like it needed something more, but I was just stuck on how to make it better and ultimately more marketable. Andrew's feedback was so incredibly useful, and helped me unlock parts of the story and characters that I had been trying to tell for a while, but didn't quite know how to get there. Even more specifically, Andrew helped me with fleshing out and making primary and secondary characters more three dimensional and true. I really appreciated our conversations and his approach of guiding me towards answers to questions vs. telling me answers right away. He is someone who I would 100% recommend working with, and someone that I hope to continue working with.

~ Sarah Jones, Screenwriter

Andrew's feedback was extremely useful. He pointed out the strengths as well as the weaknesses of the script. I have no doubt that the script will be vastly improved because of his feedback. I would highly recommend him.

~ Anne Jordan, Screenwriter

Andrew was very well prepared and very thorough! He was encouraging, yet very honest and frank in his feedback. I've worked very hard on this script over the years and yet Andrew helped me to see arguably the most important changes I needed to make. I am truly thankful that Roadmap Writers started these kinds of Career Writer's mentoring sessions. Wonderful!

~ Walter Tucker, Screenwriter
