Do yourself a favor, get notes on your script from James, then you will sell it. His notes and guidance are second to none. Each time I give James a script, he not only makes it flow better, but calls out forced exposition and anything that is too derivative. James always understands what I'm trying to accomplish, and it seems effortless for him to carve out the best way to get there.

Also, James is really fucking funny! - which is huge if you're a comedy writer, like me. Believe me, you don't want to get notes about a joke from anyone who doesn't "get it," but that is NOT a problem with James, because he is about as funny as a person can be. But fair warning... the weak need not apply. If James is going to give you notes, he will give you notes, and not beat around the "writing bush." Is that a thing? See, when James reads this testimonial, he will 100% tell me that was a stupid joke and to take it out. HAHA! So, let James be your writing guru. You'll thank me. Good luck, writers!
