script editor

Have a script you're working on? Need another set of eyes? Developing a story and not sure where to begin?

Whether it’s helping to build a script from scratch or offering feedback on an existing script, I love working with people to sharpen their stories.

  • "Emily is a remarkable talent. She's helped me outline, write, and rewrite scripts and she's made substantive improvements to various projects of mine. She's also a pleasure to be around. She'd be a massive asset to any team. I will try to poach her from you at some point if you hire her. "

  • "Emily has a sharp pen and a sharper mind. She’s quick, reliable, and over the years has helped open up several scripts I’ve worked on, regardless of genre or the state they’re in. Articulate, honest, fair, and respectful. Can’t ask for more."

    — Julian Silver (writer & actor), Seal Team (Paramount+) and Grey’s Anatomy (ABC)

  • “I always look forward to receiving notes from Em. She provides incredibly useful dramaturgical detail. Her analysis of my characters pushes me to go deeper into their psychology and create something more fully-rounded and complex. Em's advice around my directing projects has allowed me to see the work more clearly and from an objective lens. I always know the work will become richer after Em's thoughts.”

  • “Emily’s feedback on my short film was so useful. Being both a writer and director, she can engage with a script in terms of theme and story, and also with a more practical and visual eye. This means her thoughtful notes carry so much weight as she always has an awareness of what it will look like on camera. This is especially useful if you’re just starting out on your journey as a filmmaker!”

  • “Emily has a brilliant instinct for story. She reads with real care and curiosity, and her notes are thoughtful, intelligent and, most importantly, actionable. She has a knack for asking exactly the right questions, the kind that help you unlock the next draft rather than sending you off in completely the wrong direction. When she gave me notes on Superhuman, she spotted both the emotional heart of the piece and the practical details that needed attention. I remember thinking at the time, "These are genuinely really clever notes” - and I still do. She's rigorous without ever losing sight of the writer's voice, and I came away excited to get back to the script. I'd happily recommend Emily to any writer looking for a perceptive, generous and incisive script editor.”
