“Dreams do come true and Lee helps make them happen. In three years of working with Lee, I’ve gone from an unrepped writer still working on my craft, to a repped writer who had one of the largest spec sales of 2020. Lee laid out a path that made an impossible dream seem achievable. I cannot recommend working with her strongly enough. All of that and she’s a nice and genuine human being who cares about her clients.”

-- Crosby Selander, writer of Bring Me Back, sold in a 7-figure deal in 2020. Repped by Kaplan/Perrone, UTA

“Lee is, far and away, the best career coach in the business. Every time she recommends a TV or Feature writer to me, I prioritize it and usually end up signing them. Lee has a keen eye when it comes to spotting talent but it’s her ability to foster and guide that talent that really sets her apart. Hollywood can be a daunting jungle for screenwriters trying to break in. Let Lee help you navigate it.”

-- Jeff Portnoy, Literary Manager, Bellevue Productions. featured in Variety’s Hollywood’s New Leaders: Agents & Managers


"Working with Lee is one of the most inspiring and rewarding perks of my daily writing routine. Aside helping me to continuously make progress by setting achievable goals, generating and leveraging opportunities and continuously developing new material, Lee has become my most trusted advisor in all things career. Her incredible insight on the inner workings of the industry and her razor-sharp judgement when evaluating career-defining decisions help me worry less about whether I am playing my cards right and allow me to focus more on continuing to become the best writer I can.”

-- Greta Heinemann, Screenwriter w/ shows in development at Netflix, FX, feature in development at Amazon, previously sold pitches & projects to HBOMax, Amblin, writer on Good Girls, NCIS New Orleans, repped by Bellevue Productions, UTA
