I will diagnose why your screenplay is not working
About this Gig
Stop guessing. Start diagnosing.
Many writing problems persist not because of weak craft, but because the underlying issue has been misidentified. I provide a high-level diagnostic service for screenwriters who want to move beyond generic "coverage" and into deep-level story restoration.
What I Offer:
- Contest Readiness Audit: Preparing your screenplay for major script competitions (Austin, Nicholl, Final Draft) by identifying what judges flag in the first 10 pages.
- Conflict Analysis: Pinpointing exactly where tension leaks out of your scenes.
- Structural Logic: Ensuring your story "thinks" clearly through images and sound.
- Momentum Check: Restoring narrative pressure and character decision-making.
- Academic Rigor: Insights backed by a PhD and years of University lecturing.
My Credentials:
- Award-Winning: Recognized by Austin Film Festival & Final Draft Big Break.
- Experienced: 12 short films, 1 feature, and 6 stage plays.
- Published: Author of 3 books on cinema and 4 novels.
I don't prescribe a style; I restore the mechanics of your storytelling to ensure your script is competition-ready and production-strong.

My Portfolio
FAQ
What is a "Diagnostic" vs. standard coverage?
Standard coverage offers opinions. My diagnostic approach is clinical: I identify mechanical failure points, where pressure drops, logic fails, or momentum stalls. I don’t just tell you what isn’t working; I reveal the "why" so you can fix the root cause and restore the story’s structural health.
Can you help me prepare for major script competitions?
Yes. As a Final Draft Big Break and Austin Film Festival-recognized writer, I know the specific filters judges use. My analysis includes a "Contest Readiness Audit" to ensure your first 10 pages have the professional polish and narrative hook required to advance in prestigious competitions.
Do you offer rewrites or ghostwriting?
My focus is on diagnosis and Story Consulting. I provide the "field guide" for your rewrite. However, for specific scene-level doctoring or deep structural overhauls, please message me for a custom quote. I am here to restore your unique voice and vision, not to impose a new style upon it.
What genres do you specialize in?
I work across all genres. The mechanics of storytelling-pressure, conflict, and momentum are universal. Whether it is a contained drama, philosophical sci-fi, or a high-stakes thriller, if your script relies on human emotion and narrative structure, I can effectively diagnose its issues.
