There is a polish and style that make some loglines and scripts feel unmistakably professional

As a script reader, writer, and educator, I have discovered specific tactics and guidelines that experienced writers use to perfect their loglines and master their first ten pages and beyond. My course will teach you these key tactics to make the whole process so much easier and more effective.

Hi, I'm a filmmaker, writer, professor, and have been a script reader.

Although I went to the UCLA school of film, my actual training in screenwriting happened outside of the classroom. I became a script reader! At Universal Pictures, DreamWorks, and independent production companies, I read HUNDREDS of scripts! I listened intently to studio executives. I sat in on meetings, studied script notes. I listened to the people at the top discussing scripts. I soaked in the in-depth, insider studio knowledge of why certain scripts were moving up the chain and why others got tossed.

I began writing myself. With each script, with each set of notes, with each revision, I honed my skills and discovered the guidelines, tactics, and strategies that made a logline and script stand out from all the others. There was a pattern, a true system of rules that shape and craft polished, professional scripts.

Your logline is a crucial part of the process-- that one sentence is your arsenal as a writer to compel someone to even consider reading your script. The first ten pages are THE most important pages of a script because most executives decide if they want to keep reading based on those first ten pages. Most scripts start with a premise that has potential, but their first ten pages fail to showcase that potential.

The Script Launcher Blueprint will help you create a POWERFUL logline, a compelling opening scene, and first ten pages that have the key elements to launch your screenplay.

Writing can be solitary.

But it doesn't have to be.

Break out of the writing bubble and

leverage key strategies and industry insights.

Do you have a great story bursting inside of you? Are you unclear about how to unfold it to a reader? Do you have a script that isn't quite wowing readers in the first ten pages? Perhaps you know that something is missing in your script but aren’t quite sure how to get it to its true potential? I can help! The greatest ticket to opportunities in the film industry is a strong, well-crafted logline, a compelling opening scene, and powerful first ten pages of a screenplay.

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from my own writing, research, experience and packaged it in a course called:

Inside I am going to teach you how to write a dazzling logline that showcases your story in the most powerful way and dive into the best ways to hook your readers in the first ten pages. The stuff to do and not to do.

You will also get a sample of Screenwriting Buddy, my live coaching where I can give you sharp, executable feedback, brainstorm ideas, offer key insights, provide motivation to blast through writer's block, or just read a scene out loud. I will offer a fresh perspective, guidance, and support to help you rise as a writer and take your script to a whole new level. Think of it as meaningful, honest chats with a writing buddy over coffee.

Customer testimonial

"As a writer who had been chosen by the Nicholl's Fellowship, I have a firm grasp of screenwriting, and yet, the Script Launcher Blueprint provided me with keen insights and strategies that I found tremendously valuable. And the feedback I received on my logline took it to a whole new level! It tightened up my logline which resulted in me getting far more read requests from agents and managers than I had been getting previously. Whether you are a beginning writer or someone who has several scripts under your belt, this course and consulting will certainly give your scripts a much stronger potential!"
