Perfect! Josh was a fantastic teacher. He draws upon his immense knowledge of film and writing to give great advice, a road map for improvement and growth, additional resources, and - perhaps most important of all - genuine encouragement that pushes you to keep moving forward. He gives solid notes and constructive, actionable feedback on scripts. He was very helpful in getting my script over the finish line and I would highly recommend his services.

Josh has a deep knowledge of the mechanics of screenwriting. He is extremely insightful about both character and plot and is able to tease out the subtext of a story to create a more fully realized world. Josh was able to elevate my horror script through identifying both pacing and character concerns without innately changing the material. Josh can work cross-genre as ultimately he is able to amplify the human moments that resonate with an audience, regardless of the story. I cannot recommend Josh more highly.

TAKE A CONSULTATION WITH JOSH!!! You will get a lot out of it. Josh and I are collaborators on a big Hollywood project. He's amazing! A very talented and reliable writer in multiple genre, I would literally work with Josh on everything! He's so easy to talk to, he's thorough, and he has a knowledgeable perspective on screenwriting, WGA rules, and the industry overall. I've read at least four of his scripts and each one is better than the last. VALUE ADDED 1000%
