“I felt Christi was really keyed into the themes of my pilot and ideas I was playing with. Her feedback and notes are going to help me sharpen and develop my script even more. I’ve been telling my writer friends and strangers about Writing Pad ‘cause I’ve had such a great experience. I’ve learned so much and gotten to work with incredible writers. And I’m so proud of the scripts I’ve written in the Certificate program.”

“Christianne was awesome. She was well-prepared for each class, very positive and upbeat. Her notes were surgical--very clear and sent me in an actionable direction.”

“Christi gives invaluable feedback that will help focus in on your pilot’s direction before you even start writing. She not only helps with your current pilot but also teaches you how to formulate all of your pilots as sellable, compelling projects. She’s an excellent teacher who gets invested in your story and wants to help you make it as strong as it can be.”
