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.

Start with why you care! Why did you choose to write this script? What does it mean personally to you? Even if it's set in space 5 million years ago, I want to know how it reflects your life and the questions you want to answer.
Pitching is about connecting and communicating your vision. I can help make sure audiences understand exactly what you want to say and how to get your idea to the page (to the screen!) without losing your voice.
Half-hour comedies, both lighter sitcoms to darker tones. I'm always interested in LGBTQIA+ stories, especially with trans characters (I identify as queer and transmasculine). I'm also interested in reading any scripts featuring characters with disabilities, or other identities/experiences underrepresented in media right now.
