Through my years of working with writers, one of the most common roadblocks has been facing the task of REWRITING. It’s hard enough to sit down with a blank page and craft a story from beginning to end. But then, you have to start sharing that work for feedback.

And you start getting notes. notes notes notes notes notes!!!

Notes from: Friends, Fellow Writers, Teachers, Strangers, screenplay competitions, managers, Agents, producers, Cast, directors and on and on until the project comes to fruition. Even once a project has financing, a cast and a director, there may be notes to adapt to the needs of production.

If you aren’t prepared for this process and how to interpret those notes, this can feel like an endless grind with no light at the end of the tunnel. 

And this is exactly where I can help!

Over the years I’ve learned to love the process of development and have spent countless hours in rooms with other creatives and filmmakers, trying to find the missing piece of the puzzle that makes a project sing. 

With my LEARN TO LOVE REWRITING program, you will get an inside look at the development process and learn the skills to navigate the notes that will become an ongoing part of this career path.

Many times I have seen writers reach out for feedback or submit their projects, when they’ve already gotten notes they have yet to properly digest and implement - BECAUSE IT’S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT! With this program, you will get one-on-one support through this stage of your project, as well as accountability deadlines to see it through.

if you have a project in the works and understand screenwriting structure, but need help pushing through the obstacle of implementing feedback, then you’ve come to the right place. Maybe you’ve gotten paid script coverage, but are at a loss for how to improve your work. perhaps you’re actively working with someone in the industry who has given you some critiques, but you have hit a wall. OR worst of all you FEEL YOURSELF LOSING THE SPARK OF WHAT LED YOU TO WRITE THIS MATERIAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I’ve successfully supported many creatives through this stage of the process and have a reputation for getting SCREENPLAYS OFF THE PAGE AND INTO PRODUCTION. my goal is to not have repeat customers – when we work together, I hope that our dedicated focus will give you the structure, encouragement and honest feedback you need to push through this hurdle and become your own rewriting expert!

Testimonials

Stephanie is one of the most thoughtful, incisive, and insightful producers I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. Not only does she have fabulous taste (and a resume to match), but she has a unique ability to communicate with writers in a way that elevates the material without sacrificing one iota of the writer’s vision. She’s a rare talent, and a true story expert.

Jackson snider. Virgin River , writer & co-executive producer

Stephanie's development notes on my scripts are some of the best I've ever received - thoughtful, collaborative and always with the goal of helping the writer realize their vision. She not only has a deep and instinctive understanding of story and character, but her extensive experience as an independent producer also means that she also knows how to help shape material into something produceable with marketplace appeal. Any writer would be lucky to collaborate with Stephanie, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.
