"Amy not only taught but also motivated someone who knew absolutely nothing about screenwriting to finish a full-length screenplay in six months."
Maybe you've always wanted to write a screenplay or play, or maybe you've already gotten started. Amy can help you understand the fundamentals of these genres and how to translate your prose writing skills into the world of dramatic writing. Amy provides instruction and exercises for individuals and groups at all stages of the writing process, as well as individual consultation on drafts of plays and screenplays. Her consultations includes a written summary of her suggestions for improving the script and an hour meeting to discuss in person or over the telephone. She approaches the script as a whole, and does not provide line editing. For the aspiring writer, she can provide an introduction to the craft and guidance in finding inspiration and a working process.
Amy is a
playwright and screenwriter whose work includes the Merchant Ivory
film Heights and plays that have been produced at theaters
in NYC, London, Tel Aviv, San Francisco, Austin, and elsewhere. She
is on the faculty of the NYU/Tisch Graduate School of Film and
Television, and has also taught at Brooklyn College, Gotham
Writers' Workshop, The Ensemble Studio Theatre, and New York Stage
and Film's Powerhouse Program. Her play One Thing I Like to Say
Is was a finalist for the 2006 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, and
Summer Cyclone and Heights are published by
Dramatists Play Service.
Amy is available for a She Writes Virtual Lunch—
a comprehensive hour-long phone consultation for 100
bucks!
