Story
Development
Script doctoring, structural consulting, and adaptation. For projects that need an experienced eye and a fearless red pen.
Overview
Sometimes a script is almost there. Sometimes it needs the bones rearranged. I work with writers and producers to diagnose what's missing and what's in the way.

“Simon's writing in 'Ward Six' is outstanding! The story line is thought provoking and interesting and makes you want to read the whole script without putting it down. Captivating from the first sentence to the very last. I can't wait to see the finished product!”

A REVIEW
“Gorging on Revenge, is a brilliantly dark and atmospheric reimagining of classic Dickensian characters from Great Expectations, infused with a gripping sense of suspense and psychological tension. The rich period detail immerses the reader in the grim, unforgiving world of 19th-century England, making every scene feel authentic and visually striking. The use of language and dialect effectively brings characters like Orlick and Jo to life, capturing their personalities with distinct voices that feel true to their era. The dialogue is sharp, menacing, and laced with a rough, streetwise edge that enhances the tension, especially in the confrontational moments.”
