I wear several hats at Hollywood Gatekeepers, a company founded in 2017 by Carolyn J Carpenter and Douglas Shaner to teach people story analysis and coverage writing at the highest of standards. Our mission is to train expert readers who champion the writer and support the producer.
I am the head of the customer service team, the student support specialist, and outreach coordinator. My mission is to find guests who hire readers and analysts, who are willing to talk to us about their needs in what readers should provide to them.
I have a degree in Literary Communication, read every book at the local library of my youth (and just kept going from there - I quit keeping track after a million pages), and find script analysis one of the most fascinating things ever.
I love research. You can hire me to look things up for you, and provide layers of rich detail.
Lots of eclectic background knowledge.
Favorite Genres: Mystery, Family, Quirky, Holiday, Adventure/Quest
Lots of experience with Sci-fi, Action, Rom-Com, Western
No expertise with Horror.
