About Me

My career began in New York as a stage manager. It was fantastic training and my good fortune to work with amazing talent at some of the finest theatres in the US - Broadway, Steppenwolf and Yale to list a few highlights.

I branched out into film and television as a Script Reader and Development Assistant working with multiple production companies, studios and writing talent - Warner Brothers, Universal and Disney Studios among others - and it became clear that my passion was working with writers and in story development. I moved to Los Angeles to continue my career as a Script Supervisor and Script Editor.

In 2007 I moved to the United Kingdom with my husband and continued working on high quality projects, including the Feature Films ARCHIPELAGO and PAUL, as well as various projects for the BBC and ITV.

From 2010- 2014 I was Lynda LaPlante’s editor and Development Associate. In that time I script edited her highly acclaimed ABOVE SUSPICION series and edited her bestselling novels BACKLASH and WRONGFUL DEATH.

In 2014 I set up my own practice as a freelance Script Development Consultant, Editor and Writing mentor. I love the freedom and diversity of working with writers, producers and filmmakers from all around the world. It’s an honour to be involved in creating effective, entertaining and moving content.

My book  “The Art of Script Editing – A Practical Guide to Script Development”  has helped thousands of writers and script editors improve their scripts and is being used as a textbook in film and screenwriting departments worldwide.

Additionally, I mentor writers through the London Screenwriters’ Festival, Sources2, Film Market Hub and lecture/teach internationally.

I have a Master of Fine Arts Degree from Yale School of Drama and a diploma in Script Development from The National Film and Television School.

I am a proud member of BAFTA.
