One-On-One Mentoring.

I work with you, using your screenplay, to show you the mistakes you’re making, and how to fix those mistakes. You learn while correcting your own screenplay.

Formats.

I prefer screenplays written in Final Draft or Movie Magic Screenwriter, submitted electronically. I will accept screenplays written in MS word or PDF files, and Hard Copies, however there will be an additional charge of $20, to cover printing and postage.

The Mentoring Process.

Each time you send me pages for review, I will:

  • point out the errors by email, in person (if you live in the Seattle area), or by telephone conference.
  • return the pages
  • include a breakdown of the mistakes
  • explain why I made those adjustments

Breakdown of the Mentoring Process.

  1. Send the Title Page and the first ten (10) pages.
  2. Correct any similar mistakes that were previously identified in the first ten (10) pages that you find in the rest of the screenplay.
  3. Send the next twenty (20) pages.
  4. Correct any similar mistakes that were previously identified in those twenty (20) pages that you find in the rest of the screenplay.
  5. Send the next thirty (30) pages.
  6. Correct any similar mistakes that were previously identified in those thirty (30) pages that you find in the rest of the screenplay.
  7. Send the remaining pages.
  8. Your screenplay is now up to Industry Standard. Congratulations!
