Testimonials
My experience with Eva was excellent and I learned a lot. Her professionalism and in-depth knowledge of writing for TV helped me to finish writing my pilot and also improve my writing skills. Eva is the most selfless instructor I’ve ever had and she is committed to helping students succeed. She’s very honest about how to improve your story and will help you understand how to apply the Script Anatomy tools so that it doesn’t feel overwhelming.
I signed up for Eva’s class in order to draft a spec script for fellowship applications, and I thought Eva would be a great fit because of her experience in genres like sci-fi and fantasy. I was right! Her sense of humor was really helpful in honing the ideas and jokes in my script. She was super encouraging while still being clear about where I could find improvements. Eva also fostered a safe environment where everyone was able to contribute ideas to each other’s work, so I was able to get lots of great input from my classmates. A great instructor!
