Write Your Script With Maura
Meet Maura Dunbar
In Television, Experience Matters
With over 40 years of seasoned experience in the television industry and involvement in more than 300 productions, and executive producer for 25 films, I bring a depth of practical knowledge and creative insight that is critical for any screenwriter aiming to refine their craft and navigate the complex world of TV scriptwriting. From gritty dramas to rom-coms, my hands-on work across diverse genres provides me with the unique ability to guide you through the intricacies of plot development, character arcs, and engaging dialogue, ensuring your script is not just good, but pitch-perfect.
I Do This For a Living
As an experienced “buyer” and “producer,” I have the knowledge and expertise needed to help guide you through the process. From the buyer’s POV to the hands on producer who is going to actually produce the script, on set, and in production. This end-to-end experience is unique and vital for any writer, as understanding the production process fundamentally enhances the scripting phase. I teach you to write with a practical lens, considering aspects like budget constraints and physical production capabilities, which are often overlooked in the writing room.
More Than a Class
My mentorship program is designed to offer more than just script critiques; it’s comprehensive knowledge that will equip you with the skills to create a viable script in a highly competitive industry. It’s easy to tell a writer what is wrong with a script, but the art is in helping the writer creatively fix the problems. Through personalized and one-on-one sessions, I aim to hone your abilities and elevate your scripts to meet professional standards.
