Questions

What does a comedy script editor actually do?

I help make scripts funnier and clearer. That can mean adding and sharpening jokes, editing structure and pacing, or being a sounding board for new ideas.

Who do you work with?

Directors, creative agencies, production companies and brands, on ads and branded content.

What stage do you get involved?

It varies. Everything from early-stage pitch documents to same-day shooting script edits.

Will you rewrite my script or take a credit?

I'm not here for credits. I offer a discreet service for anyone wanting a second brain on their work.

How quickly can you turn things around?

Quickly. Many of my clients require same day turnaround for projects that shoot the same day.

How much does it cost?

Every project is different, so I quote per job once I know what you need. New clients get a free 2-hour first session, so you can see how I work before committing.
