What Courses do YOU want to see next?

It's now possible to upgrade your Standard membership to Premium, which includes...

Direct access to me in:

Monthly Hot Seat coaching calls where I diagnose scripts in real time (the whole room learns, not just the writer in the seat).

Mindset calls when you’re stuck or spiraling.

Weekly coffee check-ins for accountability and really getting to know the great people in this community.

We're also going to experiment with Body-doubling writing sessions — cameras on, doing the work together.

This isn’t a course library you consume alone.

It’s a working forge where we show up, do the work, and get better.

As I create courses and workshops, Premium members get access to the recorded versions as they’re released. No extra charges for the core library.

Right now I’m teaching Emotional Authorship: What Film Schools Don’t Teach live in the community — a framework built around The Wound, The Lie, and The Small Life, so characters hit on a gut level instead of feeling like Save the Cat clones.

As I build out the course library, I want to prioritize what actually helps you now. Based on what you’ve been asking for, here’s what’s on the table:

Emotional Authorship: What Film Schools Don’t Teach (currently live)
The Reality of a Screenwriting Career (jobs, agents, money, longevity)
Pitching: What Studios and Producers Actually Listen For
Rewriting Without Killing the Soul of the Script
Loglines That Actually Work
How to Write Dialogue That Sounds Real
Writing Secondary Characters That Matter
How to Write a Scene That Works
Act One: How to Hook an Audience and an Industry Reader
Why Scripts That Follow All the Rules Still Feel Dead
Foundations of Great Storytelling
The Diagnostic: Reading Scripts Like a Hollywood Script Doctor

And finally, the Big One:

Foundations of Screenwriting - From Fade In to Fade Out - this would be an A-Z intensive taught live over a period of 6 weeks.

Simple ask:

Comment with the top 2–3 you’d want first. If you feel something critical is missing, by all means list that below too.

I’ll prioritize based on what would be most useful right now.

And just to be clear — the courses matter, but the coaching and community are what actually move the needle. That’s where breakthroughs happen and I help writers see the mental blocks that are holding them back and give CLEAR DIRECTION on what to work on next and how.

If that sounds like what you need, now’s the time to jump in.
