I’d Love to Help You Write Your Script!

As a writer with a background in dramaturgy, I am uniquely suited to help others take the story they need to tell out of their hearts and into the world.

Although my work has spanned multiple fields, the core theme has always been the same: how do I tell urgent, healing stories with a community of other creatives? How do we create something together that is stronger than we could have made it individually?

Whether you have a feature screenplay, one-hour or half-hour pilot, short film script, or stage play, I can give you thorough feedback on your current draft and concrete tools to level up your next one by getting down to the heart of the story you need to tell.

Testimonials

Olivia is one of the few writers I know who delivers every single time. Her writing is emotionally resonant, her characters are active and complex, and her voice is clear. For this reason I welcomed her into the fold of my latest project, CHASERS, formalizing her role as a development producer. Over the course of a few weeks, she helped me get a production ready draft. The result - we just got into Sundance.

Olivia’s notes always make me feel confident in my skills as a writer and safe to explore new territory in the next draft. She is so good at acknowledging what is currently working and allows your script’s strengths to shed light on the parts that need more work. Olivia helped take my half-hour pilot to the next level by reminding me of the rules of the world I created in the first place. She forms her critiques as reflective questions, allowing writers to unapologetically take action on whatever answer arises and aligns. I highly recommend Olivia, she’s like a writers’ Swiss Army knife!
— Julia Barnett, Writer
As a writer, Olivia approaches big ideas with nuanced sensitivity, fostering a personal connection with her audience. She brings the same skills to coaching her fellow writers, listening deeply to identify what truly matters and helping you focus on it. When I felt lost in my story’s big picture, Olivia guided me to uncover its heart and set me on a clear path forward from there.
