How We Help

Work through any writing challenge 

All writers get a little stuck sometimes.  

Maybe you can’t find a story idea that feels right. Or too many ideas competing in your head. Maybe you’re wrestling with how to structure a screenplay. Or perhaps you’re struggling to get a project to the screen. 

Whatever the issue, you’ll find a way through in these 10 one-to-one sessions. Carl Schoenfeld, a BAFTA-nominated producer, will help you understand what’s wrong and work out a way forward. 

Carl can help you shape ideas and structure stories with thoughtful prompts. He’ll also guide you through some tools or techniques, such as: 

• Craft beat sheets that structure your story to captivate audiences 


• Write treatments that test, dramatize, and sell your story 


• Flesh out your story with depth and character nuance, in a step outline 


• Draft and redraft pages of the screenplay to improve dialogue, rhythm, and tension 


• Format your work to accepted standards 


• Learn to pitch your idea in a way that impresses industry execs 


• Build industry relationships and identify relevant contacts 

How long does it last? 

You can book these 10 sessions flexibly, over the course of at least 10 weeks. 

Where does it take place? 

Zoom. We run all our sessions online, to make them as accessible as possible. 

What will you achieve? 

At the end of these sessions, you’ll have identified your issue and found a way to tackle the problem. Carl will design a trajectory to meet your needs: reviewing ideas, giving feedback on pages, and discussing production strategies.
