The personal touch: using years of script editing and story analysis experience, we go through your project together to determine the best way to make it work.
Having worked with internationally renowned script tutors such as Hettie Macdonald, Christian Routh and Ian Sellar (UK), Mark Travis (USA), Judith Weston (USA), Jacques Akchoti (France), Clarence Hamilton (South Africa), Martin Daniel (USA), Ken Dancyger (Canada), Arne Bro (Denmark), Gyula Gazdag (Hungary/USA), David Howard (USA) and Franz Rodenkirchen (Germany), I am a highly-trained script and story editor for both commercial and arthouse productions, offering assistance at every stage of the writing process. For me, story editing is not about imposing a structure onto a story, but more about finding the key impulses behind the writer’s decisions and motivations, and bringing them to the fore, allowing the essence of the hidden story to predominate.

"If it's not on the page, it's not on the stage." So goes the saying. And I kind of agree with it.
I am a working professional screenwriter. My scripts have been selected for several international script programmes and markets, including IFP (New York), Berlinale Co-Production Market (Berlin), Scrawl (London) and Binger Filmlab (Amsterdam). I have also been hired by public and private film bodies in the capacity of story editor, or as a reader in film funding applications. RATES Rates are determined on a project by project basis, but are all based on standard unionised rates as set forth by the Writers' Guild of Great Britain. CONTACT Contact us to find out more about our screenwriting commissions. 
I provide translation work from Dutch, German, Afrikaans and French into English. In translating scripts, I use the nuances and stylistic characteristics of the scriptwriting style to create an English script, rather than merely an English-language version of the Dutch script.
