Let me help you get your script market-ready!

Written notes are great, but I'm offering Zoom sessions for all feedback. I believe this 1-on-1 approach is more like a development session with actionable steps to tackle a rewrite. I love telling stories and helping writers find ways to improve their work. Receiving notes and feedback is all part of the process, whether you are just starting or are working with a director, executive, studio, showrunner, or your team.

I want YOU and your work to SHINE!

3 Month Accountability Coaching

I'll be your cheerleader for 3 months! We'll meet once a month (3x's total) over Zoom for 1 hour to go over any specific hurdles you're facing with your WIP (work-in-progress), receive notes, and talk through upcoming deadlines. You'll get weekly texts or emails (whichever you prefer) and 1-read a month with notes on your pages. Before we meet, you will fill out a short survey talking through your goals and who you are as a writer. I will guide you in creating a schedule and give you specific deadlines. This coaching package will be tailor-fit to your needs. Do you have a feature you want to start and need guidance with? Are you having trouble knowing where to start with a rewrite? Do you want to be more organized and consistent with your writing practice? I'll help you navigate the process, keeping you accountable, and will be there to help with writing career advice, seeking reps, and looking at your portfolio.

What Rachel's Clients have said:

Karen L. 

"Rachel is the first person I go to with my scripts before I send them to producers or fellowships. She has an exceptional eye for detail and a massive understanding of character and story journeys. Her notes are honest and delivered with care, and her suggestions always enhance. Your scripts are in great hands with Rachel! 

Dana R.

"Do yourself a favor—hire Rachel. She's the most gifted, insightful, and supportive script doctor I’ve ever worked with. Over the years, she’s transformed not only my scripts but my entire approach to writing. Rachel has an uncanny ability to pinpoint what needs work while protecting the heart of the story YOU want to tell. Her notes are brilliant, her feedback—whether on the page or over Zoom—is invaluable. Trust me: your scripts will thank you." 

Laura D.

"Sessions with Rachel are invaluable. She helps break down the beats of your scripts, while also helping you see the big picture and develop your overall story. It feels more like a brainstorming session in a writer's room than traditional script coverage. You get to work with your feedback and develop it in person, on the spot." 

Julia M.

"What I loved about working with Rachel is that she took the time to read our work, listen to my co-writer and me about how we saw our project, and really get in the dirt with us about what she saw that was missing from our pilot script. We couldn't see the forest for the trees, so her suggestions really opened up many more possibilities for where to take our story. Rachel is out there, pitching her own work, so her perspective on the current state of the industry made her feedback worth every penny to us. Excellent work and insights!"

Alexis P.

"Anytime I hand a script (or even an outline) over to Rachel I know she will not only read it with a compassionate critical eye but she also will have a lot of really worthwhile feedback! I have worked with her for years and her insight has been invaluable in crafting scripts that make sense and are truly compelling. I have chatted through many roadblocks I’ve hit and her suggestions and takeaways always lead to breakthroughs!"
