Services

Concept-to-Completion
My Concept-to-Completion mentoring services are a bridge enabling writers at any stage of their craft to cross over to themselves, to their imagination, to the books, screenplays, stories and poems awaiting their arrival. The service includes brainstorming, concept origination, structural development, plot development and on through to a submission-ready screenplay or prose manuscript.

Screenplay Analysis, Adaptation and Reread
Committed to helping screenwriters transform their experience, lived or imagined, into aesthetically and professionally realized screenplays, I work at all levels of the screenplay process, from theme inception through the transformational process of three-act structure and character analysis while focusing on such dramatic aspects as the role of minor characters, the importance of individualized dialogue, and the creative freedom attendant within the responsibility of form. Additionally, I can follow through with assistance on invaluable submission tactics including Pitch, Log-line, Synopsis, Query Letter and Treatment.

Prose Manuscript Evaluation
I offer comprehensive manuscript evaluation for fiction and non-fiction alike. Whether for writers wanting to tell their “story of stories,” or for those who sense something static or missing inside their work, I provide specific and effective evaluations at all stages of the process. I am particularly interested in working with writers struggling to transform the language of self into the self of language.

Ghostwriting
It may well be true that each of us contains an unwritten book. The challenge is to get it out in the world.  I have worked with individuals who wish to “write their story” without having the time or desire to actually write it. Through ghostwriting, I am able to be the catalyst for a completed Memoir, Novel or other work. A recent example: I encountered a man who was dissipating his unique experiences through anecdotes dispensed to listeners. I showed him how to transform his talent as a raconteur into a book that could reach thousands of readers. The book has since been published and he is now moving on to narrating his next book through my spectral presence.
