We are looking for completed screenplays, or those to be completed within this month of February 2010, as we plan to start production soon for the chosen screenplays.
Please email me your Treatment/Synopsis, if you have a completed screenplay which has been registered with the WGA and/or The U.S. Copyright Office. If we like the Treatment/Synopsis, we will request for and then read your full script. If we like the full-script, we will contact you to proceed with negotiations for purchase. Thank you.

Here is what her students have to say:
"...excellent advice. I sold my script for more than three times the original bid! I could not have closed the deal without you." Matt Lutz, first time screenwriter
"... what you\'re doing is working. My pitch to the industry went extremely well. The editors were not only extremely interested and helpful but said that it was the best pitch he'd ever heard." Eric Von Mizener, screenwriter
"After your comments, I felt such a sense of urgency. I've already done the rewrite and let me tell you that your one fix was monumental." Laura Saari, Pulitzer Prize nominated writer
"You were able to communicate what works and what doesn’t in the writing and in selling my work. You have a keen sense for what will become successful." Kristina Sisco Romero, Emmy award winning actress and writer
