Script Consultant
Get direct feedback on your script from the author of the one of the highest rated screenwriting books on Amazon and the founder of The Screenplay Workshop.
You know your story. Jill knows story.
Jill Chamberlain has consulted on projects for major studios, for top showrunners, for small independents, and for many, many spec screenwriters. Her clients and students have had their screenplays optioned, sold, made into award-winning feature films and television series, garner them Hollywood representation, land them professional screenwriting assignments, and recognized by top competitions including the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences’ Nicholl Fellowship.
Consultations themselves will vary depending on a lot of factors (including the skill level of the writer, how many drafts have been written, etc.) But in a typical one, Jill will have pretty profound structural improvements that will take your script from so-so to professional-level storytelling. In her consultations, she also does some on-the-page script doctoring, pointing out improvements for your scene description, action writing, and dialogue. Her goal is to enable you to tell the best version of your story possible.
Master the Method with the One Who Invented It
Jill Chamberlain’s book from University of Texas Press, The Nutshell Technique: Crack the Secret of Successful Screenwriting, is now available on Amazon and in fine bookstores everywhere. Of the over 3,000 books on screenwriting on Amazon, The Nutshell Technique ranks as one of the highest rated in user rankings.
Since its publication in 2016, the book became an instant classic and the go-to manual many professionals swear by. It’s on the syllabus at film schools all over the world, including the world renowned program at Columbia University. It has been translated into Italian, Korean, and Mandarin Chinese, and the audio book edition is now available.
The Nutshell Technique comes from Jill's years of consulting and coaching, and she continues to use this methodology to hone screenplays into truly compelling stories.
