DEVELOPMENT & PACKAGING

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

Strengthen the story. Build the foundation. 

***

STORY CONSULTING

Developmental feedback on concept, structure, character, pacing, tone, stakes, clarity, and emotional payoff. I identify what’s working, what may be holding the material back, and practical ways to strengthen the story without losing the writer’s voice.

IP DEVELOPMENT

Strategic development of a story beyond a single format. I help identify how screenplays, novels, stage plays, series, or concepts can be shaped, adapted, packaged, and presented as broader intellectual property across complementary formats.

SCRIPT DEVELOPMENT & COVERAGE

In-depth script analysis and coverage with actionable notes on story, structure, characters, dialogue, pacing, and market appeal, helping writers elevate their scripts to the next level.

SCREENWRITER FOR HIRE

Original screenwriting and commissioned writing for film and television. I develop concepts, treatments, and screenplays from an initial idea, outline, existing material, or producer brief.

ADAPTATION SERVICES

Transform the material. Preserve the heart. Reimagine the story. 

***

NOVEL-TO-SCREEN ADAPTATION

Adapt novels and long-form works for film or television, translating the heart of the original into a cinematic structure while strengthening character, pacing, visual storytelling, and dramatic momentum.

SCREEN-TO-NOVEL ADAPTATION

Transform screen stories and IP into novel form. I expand character interiority, world, and narrative voice while preserving the core dramatic engine of the original material.

EXISTING-IP ADAPTATION

Adapt stage plays, true stories, articles, memoirs, podcasts, and other existing IP for film, television, or publishing - identifying what should be retained, restructured, or elevated for the new medium and audience.

PACKAGE

Present the vision. Win the attention.

***

PITCH DECKS

Polished, visually cohesive decks that communicate your project’s concept, tone, world, characters, story, audience, and market potential - tailored to your material, not built from a template.

SLATE DECKS

Unified presentations for multiple projects. Each title has its own identity while the overall deck presents a clear creative brand, development strategy, and body of IP.

PITCH BOARDS

High-impact visual boards for meetings, markets, presentations, and one-on-one pitches. Designed to communicate the essence of a project quickly through imagery, concise copy, and key selling points.

SERIES & PROJECT MATERIALS

Series bibles, treatments, one-sheets, character guides, lookbooks, and other materials that support development, meetings, and marketing.

SERVICES CAN BE COMMISSIONED INDIVIDUALLY OR COMBINED INTO A CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE.

If you have a project in development, an idea you would like to explore, or an existing script or property that needs shaping, adaptation, or strategic packaging, you can contact Linda via the Contact Page to discuss your project. Whether you’re seeking creative collaboration, story development, or investor-facing materials, every conversation begins with understanding the unique vision and potential of your work.
