CREATIVE ADVISORY

An agent-side view of the whole picture.

Advisory for writers, producers and creative businesses across scripts, IP, pitch materials and strategic positioning, drawing on two decades of working where talent and material meet the market.

Most creative projects are not held back by quality. They are held back by legibility: the buyer cannot see it, cannot place it, or cannot tell who it is for. That is usually a positioning problem rather than a writing problem, and it is a solvable one.

WHERE THIS HELPS

Script and project assessment An honest read of what the material is, who it is for, and how it will be received on the other side of the desk. Not development notes — a market reading.

Pitch and packaging strategy How to present a project so a buyer can see it made. Positioning, comparables, attachments, and the order in which to approach people.

IP and rights positioning Where the value sits in a piece of material, what it can become across formats, and what to protect before conversations begin.

Talent strategy for projects How casting shapes finance and buyer interest, what attachments genuinely move a project, and what it takes to secure them.

Business and career advisory For writers, producers and small companies making decisions about direction, representation, or how to build something with longevity.

HOW IT WORKS

Advisory work is scoped to the project rather than sold as a package. Most engagements begin with a conversation about what you are trying to achieve, followed by a written proposal covering approach, timescale and fee.

Typical engagements run from a single assessment through to ongoing advisory across a slate.

THE PERSPECTIVE

Two decades of representation, 300+ deals negotiated, and a working knowledge of both sides of the table, talent and literary, in London and New York. The advice is not theoretical. It comes from having sat in the rooms where these decisions actually get made.

The advice is never limited to a single document or decision. It draws on an understanding of:

“Scripts aren’t bought because they’re finished, they’re bought because someone can already see them.”
