Jonathan Ziese gave me some of the most thoughtful and helpful feedback I’ve ever received on a script. His analysis went far beyond surface-level notes and showed a genuine understanding of storytelling, character development, and dramatic structure.

What are you working on?
This is the question I ask my students before we dive into their work, whether it's in a playwriting or acting class. It starts a conversation, not a critique. In my work as a director and an Assistant Professor, I find that the most successful scripts aren't necessarily the ones that follow a rigid formula (inciting incident by page 10, etc.), but are the ones where the playwrights' intention is aligned with what is on the page.
That's the deep, academic, artist-centered philosophy I bring to my consultation, and I'm looking to help playwrights of all levels bridge the gap between their vision and the draft in front of them.
Rates
I strive to make my rates accessible to playwrights of all levels, balancing affordability with valuing the time I spend on reading, thinking about, and writing feedback for each script.
Short play (less than 20 pages) - $50
One-Act Play (21-70 pages) - $85
Full-Length Play (71+ pages) - $130
Additionally, one review of a script of any length will be gifted for free every month, chosen by lottery, to increase access to quality feedback. If you are interested in this opportunity, just mention it in your inquiry.
