Oh, hi again. I’m glad you asked! Dramaturgy is the process of looking beneath all the layers of a story, examining its characters, structure, themes, pacing, and asking all the dramatic questions to understand what the story is trying to become—or, even better, what it could turn into.
What do you look at?
I look at everything. From character & character arcs to:
– Story structure
– Scene purpose
– Pacing
– Dialogue
– Theme
– Cause and effect
– Stakes
– Narrative clarity
There’s nothing I won’t collaborate with you on. WARNING: will include endless conversation.
How can I ask for help?
You’re in the right spot. I’m glad you’re here! If you have any inquiries about a piece you’re writing, a character you’re developing, or whether it’s “effect” or “affect”, see my “CONTACT” tab. No question is worth leaving unanswered.
Can I send you writing samples or excerpts?
That’s my favorite thing to receive. Outside of writing for TV and Film, I love looking over letters, emails, novels/short stories, or even stage plays in the works. If it’s an introspective essay or a piece meant to evoke deep thought, count me in.
