Working with Ali
"As a beginning screenwriter, I realized I needed some focused assistance to bring my script to the next level. Ali Keller provided exactly what I needed -- hard-nosed, accurate, helpful feedback. As a result, my script was solicited for review by an agent in the U.K."
"I found working with Ali Keller to be both enjoyable and productive. Her insight and advice helped me to make my show much better than it was when we started."
- Tom Lough, screenwriter of Go For The Five
- Marty Levine, writer of Free Will Shakespeare
"I've enjoyed working with Ali. She wants to learn what excites the playwright about the story, asks great questions, and helped me see my script from a few new angles and get it ready to share with a broader audience. "
– Chris Slevin, writer of Burton
