Bio

Do you have an idea for a screenplay but aren't sure where to start? Do you have a draft but need help honing it? Some writing experience? No writing experience? A place to start? Completely lost in the woods? Regardless of where you're at in the process, I can help! I firmly believe that writing isn't a mystery only to be cracked by a select few.

Do you have an idea for a screenplay but aren't sure where to start? Do you have a draft but need help honing it? Some writing experience? No writing experience? A place to start? Completely lost in the woods? Regardless of where you're at in the process, I can help! I firmly believe that writing isn't a mystery only to be cracked by a select few. Rather, it's a craft that with hard work and dedication can be mastered. As a tutor, I'm focused on breaking down the process into practical, easy to understand steps that will get you going on your screenwriting journey.

But who I am to help? I hold a BA in Film from Connecticut College and have been working as a professional screenwriter in Los Angeles for the past 10+ years. I’ve collaborated through all aspects of the writing process, from developing pitches through writing, editing and delivering scripts that are ready for production. In TV, I’ve sold shows and worked with companies including NBC, USA, Universal TV, Hazy Mills Productions and Broken Road Productions to name a few. In features, along with selling spec scripts and being hired for re-writes, I've had the pleasure of working with Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Tommy Lee Jones and Zach Braff on my film "The Comeback Trail." Over that time, I've also worked with aspiring screenwriters looking to break into Hollywood. From high schoolers to adults, I've spent one on one time with each tailoring our sessions to their specific projects and needs. Now I'm ready to bring all that expertise to you!

Stop your search - this is your guy!

I've been working with Josh for several months now, and I only have the most positive things to report. I have worked with other screenwriting professionals and given the choice, I would pick Josh every time. His feedback is thorough, thoughtful, and actionable. Our meetings are easy-going (low stress, people!) and very productive. I always leave our lessons with renewed vigor for my project. His guidance is invaluable. If you're wondering who to go to for advice, feedback, notes or whatever you're looking for on your screenwriting journey, stop. This is the guy right here.

I had a great session with Josh. He really embraced my idea & thought process and gave great guidance & inspiration on how best to move forward. Can’t wait to work with him again.

Derrick, 1 lesson with Josh

Peaceful, great input!!

I’m so happy with the way my session went with Josh. He never talked over me, which is what some tudors do to show you they know a lot. Instead he listened intently. I loved his gentle, no judgment demeanor. He had great input and left me feeling encouraged to continue my screenplay.

Excellent Hour Spent with Josh

This is what I was looking for. Guidance, slight nudging, and a real artist giving me advice. I have an idea, but I was not able use the screenwriting software correctly. Josh walked me through the software, and at the right times gave me content advise. It was exactly what I was/am looking for. Very happy.

Very creative and intelligent

Josh is really great at coming up with ideas and asking related questions to get the ball rolling. I came into the session with almost nothing prepared and came out of it with a bunch of notes! I'm excited to keep working on this project
