Humans have always been storytellers. Whether gathered around a campfire, painting on cave walls, writing words on dead
trees or glowing screensit's in our blood. Books and other storytelling formats can be noble undertakings, capable
of reaching hundreds of thousands and sometimes even millions of people. But movies are the global campfires of our time.
We're here to help you tell your story to those who gather around these modern campfiresany place there's a theater,
television, computer or phone. We offer advice and hands-on assistance with loglines, pitches, outlines, treatments, series
proposals and full-length screenplay adaptations (pilots/series and features).
We will not "farm out" or outsource your project to interns or foreign "writing services." We feel you deserve better than
thatso everything we take on is done by John, Jacqueline, or the two of us together, right here in Los Angeles. We
can't price-match Bangladesh, and you wouldn't want us to.
Our pricing structure offers options designed to work within your budget and timeframe. Phone conversations can be
recorded and sent to you for future reference. If you need something in a hurry, we also offer "express service" for
expedited turnarounds. If you're looking for something not listed here, let us know.
To ask a question or get started with one of our services, just send us an email. If you're
considering our services but would like to discuss your options by phone, we'd be happy to schedule a free call; just
shoot us an email and we'll make it happen. If you'd like to know a bit more about us, check out our
bio page.
When it comes to adaptations, we literally wrote the book.
