Holiday Script Coaching for female writers
Hello, dear holiday romance writers. Do you need help with your story beats or even a read-through once you are finished?
YAY! I am opening up my coaching because I get many requests to read holiday scripts.
I offer two different options.
1. Concept and beat sheet review
2. Read and give notes on your completed script.
I have watched over 300 holiday romances, so basically all of them, and I watch and study the new holiday films every year.
I have also taken courses with the top writers in this area for many years and recently optioned two holiday scripts.
As an insider in the industry, I have been talking to executives who have been buying these scripts all year, so I know what they are looking for.
CONTACT ME NOW, as I'm only doing a few of these each month.
I have been a Hollywood story reader for many years, and I have been a story consultant and coach for over 15 years. This is what I love to do.

My history as a story coach
With over three decades of experience in the entertainment industry, I developed a few courses for writers to help them save time and money and learn how to make their stories stand out. I have worked as a writer, script consultant, story coach, script reader, actress, and artist on some of the biggest films & television shows in Hollywood.

I'm only working with female screenwriters at this time.
