This Process
is Your Process:
Julie Marsh has

own creative process, rather than imposing
one of her own. She customizes her notes
to your process and presents the analysis
as a conversation, so that you are certain
to be “on the same page” with your screenplay
and your career goals.
Writers and independent
producers now have access to the best
elements of the studio story development
process – a terrific story editor -- without
the “hellish” aspects. The script analysis
and consulting services offered by Julie
Marsh through YourBestDraft.com
resemble the process used by the entertainment
industry, but here, you set the
agenda. Story meetings and notes are individually
targeted to meet your career goals and
to better position your script for the
changing Hollywood marketplace. No matter
how things change, one thing remains constant:
the importance of vivid, imaginative storytelling.
YourBestDraft.com
combines the insight and understanding
of a professional screenwriter with the
experience of a development executive
to offer story analysis services.
Julie Marsh has
developed material for studio-scale feature
films as well as low-budget independent
films. From ComiCon to Book Expo, her
“Big Picture” understanding of the entertainment
marketplace is a great asset. Whether
you are honing a pitch or treatment, polishing
a spec, deciphering development notes,
adapting your graphic novel, or you just
need an objective read before you turn
in a draft you’ve written for hire, story
meetings and notes from YourBestDraft.com
can help you make your next draft your
best draft.
