Donaleen Saul

TESTIMONIALS

 

Story Editing

“Donaleen is the third story editor I've tried, and she is by far the best. She is always constructive, gets to the heart of of your story, lets you know where she sees problems, then continues interacting with you until you solve these problems in a way that moves the story in a cinematic arc that works. I wouldn't trade her for the world!”

Jack Wassermann

 

“Donaleen Saul has helped me as a story editor to develop my screenplay from first draft, she help me to break it down Act by Act, to understand the spine of the story and to redevelop the script, focusing on the main characters to drive the story forward. Understanding and offers concrete suggestions on what to do next. Donaleen forces you to see the story in a different light to make a good script GREAT. She's a hellava girl doing a hellava job...”
