Do you have a thousand and one ideas for a feature film or television series?
Have you tried writing your screenplay only to stare at a blank page for hours? Stuck on writing scene sequences, dialogue, fast-paced action, heightened tension, suspense, intriguing characters, and an edge of your seat plot?
Do you need a multiple award-winning American author and story development specialist to create professional film treatments, TV series bibles, or detailed scene outlines?
A Script Doctor to punch up and polish your existing script?
Or even a Story Development Consultation to analyze your project’s potential?
Then you need your very own Scheherazade to transform your creative vision into cinematic gold.
If so, I’m your girl.
I develop clients' story concepts into industry-standard feature film screenplays, TV pilots, and episodic scripts that stand out in the marketplace.

I transitioned to screenwriting more than a decade ago during the Cannes Film Festival, when a French production company hired me to write screenplays for their English-language feature films and TV series.
Their head of script development was the former President of Physical and Post Production at Universal Studios, with more than 120 films to her credit, including Schindler's List, Casino, Jurassic Park, Babe, Terminator, Back to the Future, and Apollo 13. Allowing me to hone my screenwriting skills while working alongside a legendary industry pro on a slate of film and television projects.
I've written feature films and TV series for studios, production companies, Indie filmmakers, directors, actors, and boutique clients ranging from book-to-screen adaptations to true-life fictionalized dramas. YA, superhero, romance,l, sci-fi, fantasy, neo noir crime thrillers, supernatural, horror, musical, dance-themed productions, LGBTQ+, Urban, and Latino dramas.
Writing and Story Development Services:
• Screenwriting for feature films or television series
• Screen adaptation of books, novels, true life, or other source material
