Screenplay Consultation & Coaching

SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Often the story in our head does not translate into an effective screenplay (yet.) It's such hard work, we would like to believe the script is finished. But is it? Are you sure?

Even seasoned professional screenwriters can get a nagging feeling something isn't quite there and seek feedback from colleagues.If someone in the industry wants to read your screenplay, it better be "ready for prime time"!

I love helping fellow and sister screenwriters push their own limits and gain new insight and passion for their own writing.

After I read your script I'll provide written notes and have an honest conversation with you about both the strengths and weaknesses, with suggestions on how to turn the weaknesses into strengths.

Benefits:

Honest and compassionate feedback

Identify strengths and weaknesses

Inspiration for an effective rewrite

Laurie Lamson

Produced and published writer who helps production companies, ad agencies and multimedia producers tell their clients’ stories – clearly, concisely, creatively, inclusively, (sometimes humorously;)

I've written 116 produced film, video and audio scripts, including GUITAR MAN, a gritty feature drama with 20 awards (two for the screenplay), short films and videos, interactive museum programs and PSAs for U.S. Army, and more. 

As a lifelong learner with a love of narrative storytelling, I hone my skills writing spec screenplays, teaching Soulful Screenwriting workshops, and providing honest and compassionate in-depth screenplay and book consultations to fellow writers and producers.

It was an honor to share my passion for screenwriting as the host/moderator for ISA's free telecons for four years. I also served as co-editor of Now Write! Screenwriting and Now Write! Mysteries, sole editor of Now Write! Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror.

Current San Diego Media Pros Board Supervisor - writing specialty.

Professional writers struggle with the same things novices do:


- Finding clarity about your story and what you’re trying to say.
- Trusting your own voice.
- Allowing yourself to write about uncomfortable subjects.
- Connecting with emotions and telling emotional truth.
- Fear of criticism and taking it personally.
- Keeping momentum going when your inspiration lags.
- knowing or finding out the necessary elements of a great story.
- Learning the conventions of your writing area/genre.

Take your writing to the next level.  


What sets professional writers apart is that they courageously grapple with all the above – without giving up.  They learn to engage their passion and get out of their own way to share their unique gifts through writing.


Working with me, my fellow writers learn to be less critical of their work and open up realms of possibility, develop their voices and become more productive in their writing.  I’ve been honored by how much screenwriters and authors have valued my input, which helped them take their projects to the next level – and to completion.
