Story/Manuscript Consulting

I enjoy consulting with writers and other film and TV industry professionals who are interested in developing characters with neurological disorders or want to discuss how an aspect of brain science can be incorporated into their story.  

A simple question
•If you have a simple question (i.e one that can be answered in a paragraph or two) please submit it and it will be answered on The Writer's Brain Lab Blog if appropriate.

Consultation 
•Many writers and directors may want more in-depth consultation.  I can provide assistance with the brain science aspect as it involves  creating believable characters with neurological disorders, setting and environment (e.g. lab, hospital or rehab, imaging), portrayal of brain science professionals, plot and dialogue.   

•If you need help with your project, contact me, and together we'll see how I might be able to assist. I'll provide you with my fees based on the nature and scope of your project,

•All services provided through the consulting arrangement are confidential and are intended for entertainment purposes only.
