I will provide professional screenplay coverage and story analysis
About this Gig
I've spent my career helping writers and producers develop stories for the film and television marketplace. My professional background includes work with Disney, Time Warner (Warner Bros., HBO & Turner), Sony Pictures Entertainment, Entertainment One and NBCUniversal, giving me firsthand experience with the studio development process and what makes a project stand out.
As a Development Producer, I've worked with writers at every stage of the creative processfrom evaluating concepts and refining loglines to providing screenplay coverage, developing TV pilots and series bibles, and helping shape projects for the marketplace.
My approach goes beyond script notes. I evaluate story, structure, character, dialogue, pacing, commercial potential, and overall development strategy, then provide practical, actionable recommendations you can immediately apply. Whether you're writing your first screenplay or preparing a project for producers, investors, or the marketplace, my goal is to help you create the strongest version of your story.

FAQ
How is your coverage different?
I approach every project as a development producer, evaluating both the story and its potential in the marketplace. My goal is to help you develop a stronger screenplay—not simply provide reader notes.
What is included in screenplay coverage?
Every review includes an evaluation of your concept, story, structure, characters, dialogue, pacing, and commercial potential. Deliverables vary by package and may include development notes, a logline, synopsis, and score sheet.
Do you evaluate commercial potential?
Yes. I evaluate not only how your screenplay works creatively, but also its marketability, target audience, and overall commercial potential within today's film and television industry.
Will AI be used to review my screenplay?
No. Every screenplay is personally read and evaluated by me. Your notes and recommendations are based on my professional development experience, not AI-generated coverage.
What types of projects do you review?
I review feature screenplays, TV pilots, series bibles, short scripts, and film or television pitch materials. I work across most genres, including drama, comedy, thriller, horror, science fiction, fantasy, action, family, romance, and true stories.
Will you rewrite my screenplay?
No. This Gig provides professional development notes and story analysis. My goal is to identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities so you can confidently revise your screenplay.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. I'm happy to sign a reasonable NDA before reviewing your project. Please contact me before placing your order so we can make arrangements.
Can you review longer scripts?
Yes. If your screenplay exceeds 120 pages or your project requires additional work, please contact me before ordering so I can provide a custom offer.
Can I ask questions about my coverage?
Absolutely. If you'd like to discuss your notes in more detail, you can add a Development Call to your order or contact me before purchasing.
