Testimonials

"I've worked with Hattie for over half a decade getting her notes and feedback on my screenplays. These projects have ranged from shorts to features, from commissioned work to speculative scripts. Through my career as a screenwriter, I've been fortunate to receive brilliant notes from friends, colleagues and commissioning bodies such as the BFI and BBC, but nothing has ever been as prized for me as the feedback I get from Hattie. She's not only brilliant at identifying and diagnosing the inner working of your story like a literary mechanic, but she's also a collaborator. Writing can be so lonely, it's impossible not to twist in on yourself while halfway through a redraft, so having such a solid support has is, has been and always will be, invaluable. Truth be told, I'm rather jealous that more people get to benefit from her excellence, while also being thrilled of the impact she'll have on the next generation of brilliant writers." - Matt S

"Working with Hattie has been a complete pleasure. I brought her a script that I was pretty sure was finished, but, through Hattie’s notes and guidance, the project is now immeasurably better. She quickly defined issues that I might have been aware of but hadn’t yet been able to identify tangibly, and she was wonderfully available for conversations to go through notes. It was an enormously collaborative experience. Throughout our work together, I’ve always been completely sure that Hattie totally gets the project, but also, absolutely wants it to be the best it can be. I always come away from our meetings with renewed optimism, feeling inspired." - Joe A

"Working with Hattie feels just like working with a friend. She has an innate knack for understanding exactly what you're trying to explain, even when the thought or concept is so fully jumbled you can't even make sense of it yourself. I trust her to support my work and guide me as both writer and dramaturg, and she is always the first person I will contact when I have need for script or dramaturgical guidance. Hattie is both approachable and kind, but also balances being brutally honest about your projects exactly when that's what you need to hear. Co-Writing 'What Lives, Forgotten', alongside Hattie was the easiest and most fulfilling collaboration I have had in recent years." - Lauren S-S

"Hattie has a way of digging into the details of the story and characters to draw out what is really meaningful in them. Her notes are thoughtful and constructive and informed by an amazing understanding of structure, dramaturgy and stagecraft. Working with her brought a sense of excitement and clarity to the writing process that can be easy to lose when you've spent so long overthinking a script, and which has kept me going ever since!" - CJ T-M

"Hattie provided detailed script feedback on my feature film and it was really useful. She took an in depth look at the script, across structure, pace, character and theme and gave really constructive notes on what was working and where needed further development. She also tailored her notes for where I wanted her to focus on especially. I’d recommend Hattie’s script consultancy for any writer looking to improve their work." Martin S

"Hattie was amazing and very generous! She gave detailed and thorough notes that gave us confidence in our work but also honest feedback about where we could push things further. In an industry where good feedback is so critical and always needed, Hattie was super helpful for us." Hansel R
