Hi, I'm James.

I help screenwriters discover their voice, break through creative blocks and write standout screenplays with less time and effort. 

We all want to start living our dream of becoming a full-time screenwriter.

 

But the vast majority of us feel stuck, disillusioned, and too burned out to do anything about it.

Which is why so many aspiring screenwriters are giving up on the idea of pursuing their passion.

For many of us, we are struggling to manage our full-time jobs and our personal commitments, leaving us little time to write. And when we do get time we're too tired and burnt-out.

Does this sound like you?

  • I have to choose between time for writing and time for personal life and my mental health
  • I'm too caught up in the grind to do the deep creative work I need to do to get my scripts finished
  • I've written a script I no longer believe in (or never did in the first place) and don't know what to do with it

A Message From James

 

I believe with all my heart that your voice matters. Your stories matter.

You were born with a unique perspective and are meant to write scripts that leave a lasting impact.

I know the struggle of trying to write what you think others want to see rather than what truly resonates with you.

But I've discovered that the key to breaking in is to embrace your authentic voice as a writer.

Your SIGNATURE SCRIPT - the one only you can write - is what will turn industry professionals into your biggest fans.

When you do this, you'll find that opportunities start to open up. You'll have the chance to work on writing projects you're passionate about and collaborate with people who inspire you.

With my unique methods and creative strategies, I'll guide you towards not just breaking into the industry, but thriving in it.
