Projects should be fun.
How long has it been since working on a script made you smile?
"AMANDA YOU ABSOLUTE DIAMOND! What a read!"
•
"As well as being a hilariously funny, talented and prolific screenwriter, Amanda's skills as a script editor are second to none."
•
"As a comedy writer, Amanda is my go-to for script feedback and editing."
•
"Your notes are INCREDIBLE"
•
"As a script editor, Amanda knows her craft; where the beats should be, how to add the funny, and when dialogue needs a little tweak to sound believable."
•
"Can we please work together always!!"

Screenwriting and Script Editing

In Development
I love to write complex characters who rebel against ridiculous power systems. And characters who feel lost and need to figure out who they are.
My scripts are very high-energy, packed with sensory content, and conversational action lines.
Whether you love or hate what I write one thing is guaranteed- you won’t forget it.

Ghostwriting
It's a lot of fun to ghostwrite and punch-up/gloss scripts and content. I can’t talk specifics because of NDAs and agreements, but I can tell you the work includes:
Writing material for two international touring comedians with streamer specials; one American, one British.
Glossing scripts privately for writers who don’t have the time or who want a joke punch-up.
Punching up a British production company's comedy development scripts and decks.

Script Editing
I've script edited and given notes for over 90 short, feature, and TV projects for BBC, Channel 4, the Zero Gravity Group, and individuals including a Saturday Night Live employee, animators, film directors, and comedians.
Because I am a writer and have worked in production for 16+ years, I understand that being a script editor means helping the writer the create the best script possible.
You’ll never have to ask for the note behind the note.
My notes are clean, thorough, detailed, and designed to both reassure the production company/channel that the project will exceed their expectations AND excite the writer about lifting their words to their full potential.
