(January 2024)

I started my own business! I teach classes on pitching, craft, leadership, and producing, and consult with filmmakers at all levels of their careers to help set them up for success. Find my existing consulting and education packages here, but if there’s something you’d like my support on that isn’t currently listed, get in touch and let’s talk!

Since it’s the start of the year, I’ve kept up my now nine-year annual tradition of posting my New Years Resolutions on my nearly two-decades-old blog in early January! Do you have any resolutions this year? Tell me about them!

What Am I Reading?

Don’t forget- I recommend 3 new romance novels every Friday over on my Substack newsletter, Forced Proximity!

Relatedly, I’m taking a UCLA Extension romance novel writing class, my first time back in an official [if remote] classroom situation since 2016. I’m looking forward to it!
