What to Expect
It's important for every writer to have a solid script AND to show executives that they are collaborative and professional to work with. Limited to only 5 writers, these 2-week Rewrite Clinics are designed to give writers an opportunity to develop a solid script and collaborate with an industry professional.
The executive will read your script and in an online roundtable with only 4 other writers, you will have 25 minutes to receive notes from your executive, get to know them, and let them get to know you!
Then you will have a week between sessions to revise your pages and in the second roundtable, you'll have another 25-minute meeting to talk about the submitted revisions.
Joining Sessions
Rewrite Clinics meet online via virtual classroom utilizing video conferencing software ZOOM.

I am especially looking for female voices, but I always want unrepresented voices and unique perspectives. I also love women in genre. I would love to find a show like I MAY DESTROY YOU, or great coming-of-age comedies like PEN15 or NEVER HAVE I EVER. I also am looking for half hour dramedies like FLEABAG that are very creator driven.
Sarah Aldrich is an executive with almost a decade of experience, focused on creative development in scripted television and features. She is a conceptual and creative thinker with a passion for storytelling who excels at story development. Sarah champions predominantly diverse, female forward and comedic stories. She currently oversees development across film, tv, unscripted and graphic novels at Futurific Studios.
Sarah gave me incredible notes on my pilot. She was patient, open, and generous beyond belief! Overall, she was open to giving 'the note behind the note' (both kind and also straight to the point, no BS, which I love). Sarah was also willing to brainstorm with me in a fun, collaborative way. I highly recommend her.

Truly exceptional. As a result of my one hour consultation with Sarah, I discovered a way to powerfully restructure my first 15 pages in a way that I hadn't found before. Her notes were instructive and insightful, and she was also an incredible listener and a generous conversationalist. She helped me explore and identify numerous ways I could better accomplish my script goals while at the same time making me feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged in the process. Her influence on my work was invaluable and she will be without question the first person I turn to for a script consultation in the future.
