Coaching, Consulting & Dramaturgy

Karla is a very attentive and giving dramaturg, always full of suggestions. She encouraged me to think deeply about my characters, drawing upon many experiences to find multilayered authenticity. My characters, in this play and since, are better for it.

Her enthusiasm for my script was palpable every time we met, believing in it even when I didn't.

Whether you’re dreaming of writing a novel, a TV pilot, a film or a stage play, you don’t have to do it alone. I work with writers who want to move from ideas to finished draft - people with something to say, even if they’re not sure where to start.


You don’t need to be an expert to write something meaningful. You just need to be ready to take your story seriously. As a story coach and dramaturg, I help writers find clarity, confidence and flow in their creative process.


How it works

We work one-to-one over Zoom, focusing on your story, process and creative confidence.
Each session is practical and encouraging: equal parts craft, structure and emotional support.


I’ll help you:

  • Clarify your idea and shape it into a solid outline or pitch. 
  • Build believable characters and strong story arcs.
  • Develop a writing rhythm that actually fits your life.
  • Learn to edit and refine your work with a clear, professional eye.
     

Between sessions, I offer tailored feedback on your pages, plus specific next steps to keep you moving forward.


Who it’s for

  • Emerging writers who want to write their first book or script. 
  • Creatives (actors, artists, journalists) exploring storytelling in a new form.
  • Writers returning after a break who need structure and accountability.
  • Anyone experiencing "writer's block".
     

You don’t have to know the industry - just what you care about. We’ll work from there.

Next Steps

If you’d like to explore working together, you can book a free 30-minute discovery call via the form below. We’ll talk through your project, your goals and see if it’s the right fit.

Just spent time online with someone who is more than an award-winning creative: she’s a bloody lovely human being, with a hell of a life story, and a degree of insight and intelligence that you don’t always find.

I’ve spewed out a bunch of torment, asked some free-range questions, blurted half my own life - and come away with 4 pages of notes and some great advice from someone who has serious and deep expertise.
