Founder/Director
Welcome to Bridge 17 Scriptwriters' Studio! I'm the Founder and Executive Director, and my journey into the world of scriptwriting is rooted in a familiar story. Like many writers, I began with a traditional 8 to 5 job, juggling household responsibilities, and writing whenever inspiration struck. It all changed when a producer friend presented an idea, and I eagerly raised my hand to complete the project. In a remarkable turn of events, the script was sold just three days later, sparking my transformation into a professional scriptwriter.
​
Over the course of nearly thirty scripts and years of experience, I've successfully sold every script I've written. Recognized as the go-to professional for script revisions, story enhancement, and pitch packages, my work has reached TVOne, Aspire TV, Netflix, UMC Streaming, Bounce TV, and various independent production companies.
​
Today, I've evolved into an advocate for independent scriptwriters. In a media landscape hungry for content beyond Hollywood, your work and ideas are sought after. However, professionals are essential. As an evangelist for scriptwriters, I understand the intricacies of marketable scripts, collaborative processes, effective rewrites, brand management, and the art of concise storytelling. Crucially, I excel in working with producers to seamlessly execute changes in a script.
​
While accolades could fill this space, the most important facet of my journey is this: I not only live off what I write but have also imparted this knowledge to many others, guiding them on the path to sustaining a living through their craft. Welcome to a community that not only understands the art of storytelling but also thrives on the belief that your stories can change the narrative.
Cheers and HAPPY WRITING!
