Loglines/Pitches/Query Letters

 

Help with writing compelling query letters and effective log lines as well as tips for creating an entertaining pitch for your project.  Fee: $75 if I have done an analysis of the script.  Please contact me for rates if you want to work solely on a pitch or query.

 

Evaluation of Manuscripts/Short Stories/Articles for adaptation

 

I will read your source material and give you my thoughts on how it might be adapted as a screenplay, identifying the cinematic arc or spine and coming up with creative yet pragmatic ways to re-imagine the story as a film.  Fee: dependent on material – please contact me to discuss.
