About Me

The Bitter Script Reader: Before I was a TV writer (Superman and Lois), I read scripts in Hollywood for over ten years. In that time I worked for Oscar-winning production companies, and one of the "Big Five" agencies, among others. I'm here to share what I've learned.... mostly because I'm sick of reading bad scripts.

I was the guy you need to get past at the agencies and production companies; the first one in the office to read the script.
