Private Consulting
Private Classes
Tim runs ongoing daytime and nighttime private classes in 10 week increments. Classes are held online and size is limited to 8 to ensure that all writers receive the personalized attention they deserve. Prior to classes starting, Tim holds a private 1:1 meeting with each student (either in person or via Skype) to review your goals, what your focus will be and what you hope to achieve. Students may choose to start something new or work on a rewrite. Features or TV. Each week Tim leads the class through a three hour interactive discussion about each writer's new pages. Classes are collaborative and are meant to encourage long term relationships between writers. Tim provides written and verbal feedback throughout the course, which culminates in a final script read with notes and a one on one call to discuss not only the notes, but also next steps in the writers' pursuit of their goals. Please note that all scripts are read directly by Tim and all notes are provided directly by Tim.
​
Tim offers private consulting packages from a one time script read with full notes to ongoing year-long packages. Most writers work well with a 10 session package, which includes a one hour call per week (or as determined), one hour of Tim reading new pages prior to each week's meeting. Prior to each 10 week package, Tim meets with each writer to review goals, focus and what you hope to achieve. Please note that all reading is done directly by Tim and all notes are from Tim.
