I’m an award-winning TV comedy writer offering one-on-one online instruction.
Who I Am.
Hi. I’m a showrunner and TV writer with credits in the US and Canada.
In Canada, I ran Corner Gas for three seasons, and co-created and co-ran Dan for Mayor. In the US, I’ve worked on shows for NBC, CBS, and Fox, developed for CBS, Nickelodeon, and Disney, and ran the Freeform show Alone Together.
I’ve written on more than 250 half-hours of produced television. I’ve won three Gemini Awards, six Canadian Comedy Awards, and two WGC Awards. Check me out on imdb.com.
If you want to write a half-hour comedy I can guide you through every stage... except ordering lunch. (FYI, writer’s rooms spend most of their time discussing where to order lunch.)
What I’m Offering.
I offer two services aimed at new or intermediate writers who are writing a half-hour comedy. All coaching is one-on-one over zoom.
Canadians: I can bill in CAD, contact me for current pricing.
Weekly Coaching for New Half-hour Scripts
Develop your half-hour comedy script with personalized coaching.
I offer one on one sessions to help you through the process of writing a new half-hour comedy. You might be starting with a concept, already drafting pages, or somewhere in-between. I can provide support and feedback on up to ten new pages a week.
I’ve worked with students on refining initial concepts, breaking stories, creating beat sheets, integrating A B and C stories, character and scene work -- the sessions are guided by the client’s needs and goals to help get to the best script possible.
4 weekly 30-minute sessions per month (I can be flexible with scheduling.)
$250/month
Notes and One-on-one Consultation on Your Completed Draft
If you already have a completed draft, I can help you take it to the next level with detailed notes and a one-on-one coaching session.
This is the same process I would use as showrunner to give notes to a writer. I do a detailed read of your draft and make notes. Then I take you through the notes and discuss in a 90-minute one-on-one session. You get a copy of your noted script as well as a 2-3 page overview of the “big picture” notes.
Detailed notes, a 2-3 page overview, and a 90-minute one-on-one notes session: $300
If you’re interested…
Drop me a line and tell me something about yourself and your expectations!
If I think I can help you, we can take it from there.
Again, I can’t help with lunch. Just the writing part.
