The first line in my book, MIND YOUR BUSINESS: A Hollywood Literary Agent's Guide to Your Writing Career, is; "I love writers." After all my years as an agent and now after quite a few years as a writer's consultant, I can still say the same thing. Writer's have always been close to my heart. I enjoy their creativity and I understand their pain. I have had and still do have a blessed life because I am working so closely with these creative and imaginative people.
As an agent I loved building a big career for a new writer. I loved making their deals and helping them choose which of their ideas they should write next. It was a team effort and always exciting. Being a creative consultant gives me the same thrill. I love reading those screenplays or novels. I love being able to see what will help make those projects better and better. It's so fulfilling to read the next drafts and watch the talent grow and mature.
Writing a marketable project when one is all alone is pretty much impossible. Writers need the eyes of a professional to point out the flaws as well as the good pieces. I never try to rewrite a writer. I only show the way to making a script better.
Have you followed the 3 Act Structure? Do your main characters have zip? Are you overwriting the descriptive passages? Does your plot work? Is your story compelling?
Let me know if I can help you! It's what I want to do!
