I am the published author of a successful book on story analysis, screenwriting, and the literary side of the film industry entitled GETTING YOUR SCRIPT THROUGH THE HOLLYWOOD MAZE (Acrobat Books-Samuel French Trade). The book was out for 7 years in both America and the international markets.

I was a staff story analyst for 5 years at Paramount Pictures. I have covered hundreds of screenplays and written extensive development notes on studios projects.

I have also read for Imagine Entertainment, Phoenix Pictures, New Regency, CAA, ICM, and the production companies of Sally Field and Meg Ryan.

I lectured for 7 years at the prestigious American Film Institute on story analysis and screenwriting.

So, if you need an expert script consultant or a writing coach for any type of literary material (scripts, manuscripts, plays, treatments), please drop me a line. I have the skills and experience with top-level companies to back me up.

Thanks very much.
