       Story Builders is a professional writing service that provides Script Doctoring, Consulting and Coaching for TV Writers and Screenwriters.  We are dedicated to helping writers and creators  find and hone their own unique and original Voice.

​How are you bringing "you" to the page in ways that only you can? 

How do you see the world in a way that nobody else does?  How are you expressing it in a way that nobody else can? 

The writer's own unique Voice is the most important thing you can bring to the page because it is who you truly are, it is your life experiences--it is how you see the world and it's issues from a place that is totally your own.   


Think back to how you felt when you first came up with the idea for your story.  Pretty good feeling, huh?  You were jazzed, right?  This is so cool, yeah?  You saw the characters, the world, the situations and they were popping, weren’t they?  They just would not leave you alone.  And, in these moments you knew exactly how it all should look, feel, sound—but more importantly you knew how it was going to make other people feel too. 

​Some of the main concerns writers have when working with us on their projects are these: "is how I see the world and the situations in this story resonating in the ways I imagined?  Is my script different enough from the others that may have similar topics or situations?  How is my script going to stand out"?  These are the questions this process addresses and fixes.  


At Story Builders we help you implement your own unique Voice into every aspect of your screenplay or TV show idea as this is exactly what is going to give your script or project a fresh take on the material no matter the subject, genre, form or time period.
 
This process will:
 
Sharpen your personal method of expression, your connection to the material, your individual take on the situations down to the nuance, your common topic of exploration--what you center on, how and why. 

Hone in on making specific the world you create, the rules of it, the cool hooks, the style, feel and way into it in a manner that only you can. 

Ensure that the external story and the inner thematic journey are reminiscent to how you see life.  

Make certain that your own special spin is on everything; from the opening image, how you mete exposition, all the way down to the conventions and even the ending tag as this is what is going to differentiate your take from the masses, and this is the gig here. 

By nurturing the writers own unique Voice we build on what makes your story both marketable and fresh.   Are you ready to get started?


Let's talk about your script, story or project.  We offer a free 30 minute consultation by phone--no obligation with our founder, Terry McFadden.

"I used Terry’s script analysis for one of my multi-cam scripts and it was exactly what I needed.  Terry improved my scripts direction and flow with his knowledge of what executives, producers, managers, and agents are looking for.  All of this help and experience for a great price.   I will continue to use Terry’s service for future scripts and highly recommend Terry to any writer out there needing help to get their script pitch ready.  Thank you, Terry".
