Mara L.
Screenwriter and Script Consultant
I'm a screenwriter, ghostwriter, script consultant, and screenplay editor. My consultations help screenwriters improve the dialogue, character development, plot, and pacing of their scripts. I can also guide those who are struggling to understand the often opaque formatting rules. I wrote and produced the indie features "Surviving Family" (starring Billy Magnussen and Phyllis Somerville) and "Detours" (starring Tara Westwood, Richard Kind, and Paul Sorvino). Both movies are available on Apple TV, The Roku Channel, TubiTV, Plex, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and Hoopla Digital. I wrote the screenplay for the upcoming feature "Alison," which is based on a true story and currently in pre-production. ,
