Script Editing Testimonials

“Every writer should have a Julie Everton. She has been an invaluable resource, working officially as a script editor on my current project and previously on many others, as a great person to bounce ideas around with. Julie has a real knowledge of the format and  structure/language of films, and an insistence on getting a character’s emotional journey ‘right’. She is hardworking, astute, never loses sight o the films direction and…just when you think you have it covered, she searches out a bunch of (sometimes obscure but always relevant) films to give you even more to talk about!

In short, Julie is a creative inspiration. She also has the unusual ability to be able to plant the seed of an idea, whilst allowing the writer to remain in total control of the script. She is a joy to work with!”

Angela Pell, Writer of Snow Cake (Revolution Films 2006, with Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver, Carrie Ann Moss)

“We are professional script writers, and have written for tv shows broadcast in forty countries. We found Julie an absolute pleasure to work with on our feature script Gwaba Girls. She combines an extremely pleasant and writer friendly manner with a clear vision of how to improve scripts and incisive, constructive advice.

With Julie’s help, our script developed to the point where Screen South selected it for their Los Angeles Trade Mission, and it has since won a Gold Remi at the Houston Film Festival, USA.

We would thoroughly recommend Julie Everton to anyone seeking a script editor

Dan and Nuria Wicksman, Oxford.

WRITING TESTIMONIALS

" Her play exudes theatrical self confidence ... unforgettable .”
Anne Mcferrin, Times Educational Supplement

“The writing has clarity and directness, as well as a poetry of language and allusiveness”
Anne Edyvean, BBC Drama Producer

“Enormous strengths as a writer....incredibly distinctive and orginal pieces. You have the talent to tap into eccentric, quirky, but completely credible characters, and to find a kind of elemental energy that I don’t see anyone else doing."

Caroline Hall, Associate Director, Royal Court Theatre

“A witty, wonderfully written and tender account of one family trying to cope with the confinement of country life. Everton’s plot unravels slowly, shifting from comedy to suspense to tragedy as the mystery unfolds”
Tamsin Smith, Evening Argus

A compelling and at times spectacularly nasty piece” Charles Spencer, Telegraph
“Julie is herself a wonderful writer, but she also has a very fine eye and is clear sighted, incisive and generous about other writer’s work. Julie is capable of in –depth analysis and has run a number or workshops as well as being involved in story conferencing when working on series such as Crossroads and Down to Earth.”
Mel Kenyon, Cassarotto Ramsay and Associates Literary Agency
