For Writers

Let's help your play become the fullest version of itself - and get it seen by theatres.

Drawing on my background in editing and my experience in New Play Development, I offer services to playwrights who are on their first draft, their final, or somewhere in the middle.

Editorial Assessment

For early drafts, this takes a big picture look at where the play is now, and gets you detailed notes on thoughts for next steps - addressing style, character, plot structure - taking your play from first draft to mid-process.

Developmental Editing

For mid-process drafts, this is a more intensive look at how to get your play ready to be submitted. I'll look at consistency in your play, giving you ideas on how to make everything earn its keep, so that your play is a lean, mean storytelling machine.

Copyediting and Proofreading

For drafts that are far along, I'll look at polishing up your play for submission to theatres - line editing, proof reading, and formatting - to best show off your product, and make your play stand out in a Literary Department slush pile.

Sammy’s firm, yet gentle, coaching opened new avenues for my writing and performance. His insight and experience feeds my creative impulses and guides me towards better expression.
