Write The Damn Thing
Your Pitch.
I work with screenwriters and authors at all
levels who want to go from amateur to pro.
The Writers’ Room
Group Coaching for Screenwriters & Authors
Want to get your writing into the best goddamn shape of its life? It starts in The Room.
Six Weeks. 
One Project.
Zero Excuses.
- Great writing doesn’t happen in a room of one’s own unless you are the next Virginia Woolf, and we all know how that turned out.
- Great scripts are not manufactured by AI plagiarism machines.
- Great stories demand a voice and a heart, not an algorithm.
This instead: Get coached. This is mentorship with deadlines and feedback from a working pro. “How?” you ask, because that is so you.
– Live notes and weekly accountability
– On-the-spot problem solving for structure, character, and plot
– Logline rewrites, pitch notes, worksheets and more
You’ll walk away with pages that are pitchable, polished, or at the very least, done. And you’ll be in the company of others who take the work as seriously as you do.Â
Two ways to get
in the room
One gives you direct feedback and the full coaching experience. The other gives you valuable coaching without notes. Choose the path that matches where you are in your writing project.
01. Full Access
Your pages, workshopped.
For writers who want eyes on the work and heat on the deadline.
02. Class Access
All the coaching. None of the critique.
Perfect if you’re not ready to share pages but want to learn what it’s like in the writers’ room.
Screenwriter. Script Strategist. Mentor
Hello. I’m Dawn.
I’ve been a TV and film writer for over 30 years, working in countless writers' rooms, on sound stages, in pitch meetings, casting sessions and edit bays, at early morning table reads and late-night rewrites. I’ve written on Emmy and Golden Globe-winning shows, worked with Oscar-winning writers, directors, and actors, elbowed my way through the boys’ club, acted out, spoke up, and kept writing.Â
I lived through decades of #MeToo and hostile workplaces while staying true to myself. How’d I do it? I kept writing. Kept showing up. And I developed a system of self-care and goal-setting that saw me through.Â
If you’re looking for guidance, you need someone who has lived to tell. If anything, I’m a survivor’s handbook for writers.Â
Don’t just learn how to write. Learn how to last.
