Services

Unlike most writing sites, this one is here to help un-produced writers drop the U and the N from their title.  It doesn’t ask for money or even run ads.  However, I do get and provide a lot of story development and script breakdown services, manuscript critiques, and treatment writing for funding as my day job — so, if you are so inclined to be in the market, drop a contact form line and I’d be happy to help.  And my rates don’t come close to what all those other sites charge.

Here’s some recent testimonials:

Coverage Testimonials

Laurie,

Excellent coverages. Thank you.  …You’ve done an excellent job here, and I’d like to work further with you. A trustworthy and objective reader with a similar mindset to mine is invaluable… On another note, we’ve begun early stage development of a few new projects. If you’re interested, I’d like to involve you in some facet, since you’re coverage are always so clear and insightful.                                                                                                                                                        ~ Producer, Opus Films, Los Angeles

- Adam, writer/director

thank you for your stellar effort and sharing your wisdom thanks, talk soon again,
you really know your cinema and script consulting, like “driving gloves” — vrmmm into the gist of the script, thank you
awesome, you got the midas touch, Laurie.  ~ Benjamin, screenwriter

This was among the best coverage I have received. Very insightful development notes. Would you be willing to give similar notes on projects in the future…

~ Producer, LA Feature Film Academy

Wow.  Your notes were awesomely spot on and I greatly appreciate you taking to time to write them up for me.  I’ve always been more of a story teller/director, and needless to say it shows in my script.  I so need to learn to polish it up and push it more…”Thanks Laurie!  I am sure I will be hitting you up more in the future and I really appreciate your help with my writing.  Many thanks.”

~ Andrew S., Screenwriter, Nashville TN

i wanted to say, once again, thanks. i woke up early this morning to apply your changes, and as i was going through, line by line, i want you to know i really value your suggestions. i don’t have it in front of me at the moment, but truly, you are a clear thinker and sometimes just a twist of a word or singling out of a sentence HELPED. thanks again.

~ Georgia G., Writer, Phila. Pa.

Laurie,

Great to get your feedback! Thank you! I can already tell it will be extremely helpful to finishing this up and rewriting the sections that need extra attention going into a final draft.  PS: Very excited to start implementing your suggestions. I am thrilled to have your feedback on this.

~ Gae X., Screenwriter, Austin, TX

Hi Laurie,

Just wanted to say that of the notes we received on ‘Robin Hall’ yours were amongst the best. Very happy. Thanks. The writer is working on the next draft, would you be happy to do another 1500 words on that when its finished? Same setup as before.

Cheers,
Ant.

~ Ant Dinham, Producer, Vehement Features Ltd.

Hi Laurie,

I’m on my knees! I’ve studiously executed your notes; I agreed with all of them.

Your perception and intuition have resulted in a MUCH better script: now called A GOD AMONG US. I love the way you write and the angle you take. I’ve made your amendments and added ones of my own. My feeling is that your take on this is very close to the mark.

I appreciate that the dialogue may not blow a reader’s hair back, butat this point I’m exhausted. A GOD AMONG US is now much closer to the project you thought it could be.

Thanks again for a WONDERFUL interpretation!

Kind regards,

Rich, Owner Creation Pictures – New Zealand

wow!
this is exactly the type of feedback I needed. Both, corrective criticism and encouraging. Thank you so much! ~ Ian, screenwriter – Austin, TX
