Dramaturgy and Script Development

As a producer, programming director, and literary manager, I’ve built a deep understanding of what makes stories resonate. With over a decade of experience in dramaturgy, I provide personalized support to playwrights, screenwriters, and storytellers. While my focus is on new play development, I work across mediums—whether you’re shaping a stage play, film script, or novel. Each session is tailored to your vision, offering the space and feedback to refine your work.

When we work together, I’ll be your collaborator, diving into the themes, characters, and structure of your piece. We’ll create a focused environment where you can strengthen your story and connect with it on a deeper level. And if you’re looking to ground your work in research, I also bring expertise in research dramaturgy, helping to build authenticity and depth with historical and cultural context.

Whether you’re in the early stages, polishing a piece, seeking an unobjective first audience, or wanting an outside eye on plot, character development, or historical accuracy, I’m here to support you through it all.

Rates for Script Development Services:

Below are my rates specific to playwriting and play script development. I offer a sliding scale tailored to the specific needs of each writer and their project.

Here are my standard rates for virtual consultations (dependent on the length of the text):

First Read: $75 – $100
Re-reads (during the development/rewrites process): $50 – $75
Script Feedback (Conversation): $65 – $90 per hour

If you are interested in my services and rates for other mediums (screenplays, novels, podcasts, etc.), please message me to receive a personalized quote.

Please note that these rates are for virtual work. If in-person meetings are required, additional fees will apply to cover transportation and travel time, as I am based in Brooklyn, NY. I am committed to ensuring that every writer receives the support they need at a rate that works for them.
