A Roadmap for Rewriting
The Screenwriter's Guide to Getting Unstuck and Finishing the Damn Thing
Get Instant Access $27You're Not Lazy. You're Stuck.
Rewriting is where most of us stall out. We revise the same ten pages again and again. We question our story. Our structure. Ourselves. We tell ourselves we'll "get to it tomorrow" - and we don't.
This isn't a course or another writing book. It's a 50-page downloadable workbook created by a professional screenwriter - someone who's worked inside writers' rooms, pitch rooms, casting sessions, and late-night rewrites. Someone who knows exactly what gets in the way, because I've been there too.
Think of this as a Roadmap to Rewriting
clarity, structure, and a path forward.





Created by a
Screenwriter Who's
Been in the Trenches
I'm Dawn Dekeyser, a veteran TV writer, executive producer, and script consultant. I've written and produced hundreds of hours of television, including Ugly Betty, NewsRadio, Samantha Who?, and Good Witch. I've developed original pilots for Netflix, ABC, NBC, and FOX. I've worked with Emmy and Oscar-winning talent. And I've guided emerging and mid-career writers through rewrites that actually get results.
This roadmap is built from decades of doing the work. It's the same approach I use with my own scripts and with clients who are stuck in draft limbo.

A guided roadmap designed to reframe what you've already written - not blow it all up. Whether you're on draft one or draft six, this will meet you where you are.

Built From Experience. Not Theory.
I've rewritten under impossible deadlines. I've helped writers land reps, sell pilots, and finish drafts they thought were unfixable. I know how isolating this part of the process can feel.
This workbook reflects what works when the inspiration is gone, the doubt is loud, and the story feels too messy to save.
You don't need more notes. You need a roadmap.
