Writing is a journey, let’s take it together.
I help people develop the tools to tell their story, stay on course, and bring their vision to life.
We Start Where You Are
Whether you're at the very beginning with a rough idea for a screenplay, pilot, novel, or memoir—or you're a seasoned writer shaping your latest draft—I’ll meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.
Affordable
You don’t need a big budget to make big creative moves. You need an idea—and the right support that’s focused on your journey. I offer flexible pricing to deliver just that.
One-On-One
In my experience, nothing beats a personalized approach! Working side by side is not only productive—it’s fulfilling and fun. Sessions are tailored to your needs, whether that’s developing a pitch or visual deck, crafting story-driven professional materials (from speeches to brand narratives), or writing your dream project.
IT TAKES COURAGE TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP—BUT YOUR IDEA IS WORTH IT!
The truth is, we often lose motivation when we don’t know where to start—or when we feel like we’ve lost our way.
For over 20 years, I’ve written and developed projects for Universal Studios, Syfy Films, Blumhouse, BET Studios, The Animation Company, Bold Films and several Oscar-nominated producers—so I know what it takes to bring a vision to life.
But I didn’t always.
With each script, TV pilot, book adaptation (fiction & non-fiction), and pitch, I faced blank pages, doubt, and looming deadlines. Over time—and through many drafts, workshops, collaborations, writers’ rooms, and iced coffees—I honed the tools to become the kind of storyteller who dives into projects with confidence and delivers.
Now, I help writers and creators map a path they can actually follow—from beginning to end—because when you know where you’re going, it’s easier to KEEP GOING.
FIRST:
We demystify the process.
Writing doesn’t have to be a foggy, solo journey. With this story development process, you’ll have an expert by your side from start to finish. Through personalized one-on-one Zoom sessions, we’ll turn storytelling from a mystery into a manageable process—saving you time and money. It’s like having an on-demand collaborator.
NEXT:
We design your path—so you’re not guessing what happens next.
You’ll uncover the nuances of your story—whether it’s fiction, a memoir, a speech, or something else—by answering the questions most writers or creators don’t know to ask. This series of focused, story-shaping questions is designed to give you a map of where your story wants to go.
THEN:
You write your story—confidently, creatively, and with a guide by your side. I help you stay inspired by staying clear.
As a good guide, I recognize the need for both structure and flexibility: Sessions can be one-off (90 minutes), a 5-session series for more customized workshopping, or a flexible pricing scale for longer, in-depth projects. Let’s find a path to transform your writing—and your life.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS (AND WHY IT’S WORTH YOUR TIME):
NOT SURE WHERE TO START? THIS IS YOUR MAP.

Jay’s Signature Story Checkpoint: A 90-minute Idea & Vision Session
Whether you're just starting out with an idea or knee-deep in draft number three, every writer hits a point where they need a little perspective, a reset, or a trusted partner to help navigate the next steps. I get it—I've been there too!
That’s what the Story Checkpoint is all about: a focused, 90-minute Zoom session designed to bring clarity, momentum, and strategy to your creative path. This isn’t just about story. This is about sharing tools to help build a sustainable writing practice.
90-minutes can make all the difference.
Let’s figure out where you are—and where your story can go from here.
If you can dream it, you can write it. I’ll show you how.

I’ll reach out to schedule a free, 30-minute relaxed and friendly call or Zoom chat. We’ll talk about your project, answer any questions you have, and explore how I can best support you and your story. Together, we’ll map out your next steps so you feel confident and excited to move forward.
