SCREENWRITING ALCHEMY
4 Week workshop for Screenwriters, TV writers, & Web series creators 
 First, middle, or final drafts. 

Learn how to turn any pages - into great ones.  Cliché transforms into one of a kind, expository morphs into hypnotic, confusing into profound, and average into extraordinary.  

HOW TO WRITE GREAT SCRIPTS NOT JUST AVEREGE SCRIPTS

​Discover how to shape-shift for the creation of a magnificent screenplay. 

In this workshop, we focus on you. Your mind, Your story, Your goals. We approach the art and craft of screenwriting  utilizing research in evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and psychology. 

By focusing on the way you approach the page, you will build a set of tools that will apply to every script you ever write.  

DISCOVER TOOLS THAT ARE SHAPPED FOR THE FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY

We deep dive into your understanding of character, action, structure, theme, dialogue, subtext, the mind of the reader, the heart of a producer (yes, they do have hearts) and most importantly - your story.
​
Every week you will discover and practice new tools for building story and structure through character, theme, and intuition. 

Workshop 15 pages of your script and get a clear plan of how to move forward in the most effective way possible! At the end of your workshop you will have a very clear plan of what to do next. 

A BETTER WAY TO GIVE AND TRANSLATE FEEDBACK

Discover a healthier and more effective approach to feedback. Unlike most classes, Jess prioritizes effective feedback (she has spent a lot of time researching this) that eliminates damaging notes birthed of ego, criticism, or ignorance. 

The small class size (6 scripts workshopped) guarantees you get the feedback you need for where you are in your process. 

We provide a safe  but challenging approach. So you can be vulnerable, creative and free while you grow, overcome obstacles and move forward on your journey as a writer.

​"I learned more in one session with Jess than I did in four years of NYU film school."
​- Jenna, NYU GRADUATE 2020​
"Jess' approach is beyond anything I have ever experienced from a class or in any writers room.  I always need to know the science behind things and knowing that all her techniques stem from neuroscience and psychology -- it just works."
- Kevin, TV WRITER 2020
​
"In ten pages and one hour Jess broke open my story and transformed my structure. She saved me eight months of rewriting! Thank you!" 
- Celeste, SCREENWRITER 2019


​
"Jess's classes and meditations have gotten me through some very severe blocks. These are professional-grade tools that short circuit the fear, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism that stands in the way of you doing your best work. I rely on them regularly! "
- Carly Wray,  Writer/Producer - MADMEN, MINDHUNTER, WESTWORLD
 "The Alchemy class has helped me beyond words.
 
I took it on a whim - and when I say whim, I mean I signed up for it on my phone, through tears, while in the middle of breakdown in the shower about how I’m never going to be a writer - that kind of whim.
 
Even though it was way out of my comfort zone, Jess never made me feel like I didn’t belong there. Her unique ability to adjust her approach based on where the writer is in their journey shows her passion and dedication to actually helping us move forward.
 
This class was the first time I ever really felt safe to share. The way Jess handles giving feedback is like therapy for a writer’s soul. It’s empowering, insightful and inspirational. 
​ 
I’ve taken other classes and I know how Hollywood works. Jess finds a way to lift people up as she teaches instead of putting them down.
Elle Waitt, WRITER 2020
