A bespoke script consultancy for authors and screenwriters with an established script editor.
Helping you shape the stories you’ve always wanted to tell for Film, TV & Audio.
Take the next step in your screenwriting career today
Hello, I’m Tara, and I founded Shape That Story so I can work with novelists and screenwriters who don’t have access to a script consultant for feedback on their work. I recreate the writer/script editor relationship, as found in the Film & TV industry, so that you can develop your script with an established professional who wants to make your screenplay the best it can be.
To date I’ve worked as a script editor and script executive on over 180 hours of scripted TV drama including; Call the Midwife (BBC) The Chemistry of Death (Paramount+), Holby City (BBC), Emmerdale (ITV), River City (BBC), Danny & The Human Zoo (BBC), and as a development consultant at Riff Raff Entertainment.
Script development services
I collaborate with authors to adapt their novel into a screenplay, and emerging and professional writers who want expert feedback on their pilot script to elevate their screenwriting career. I also offer a one off script reading service where I provide comprehensive notes, with actionable steps on how to progress your script.
Most of the writers who choose one off script reads see the benefit of working together longterm and continue with a 3 or 6 month development package.
If you’re unsure which service is right for you then let’s hop on a 15 minute discovery call to see how we can work together.
