“Emma is a thorough and insightful dramaturg. Her careful consideration of my play was so generous and gracious that I felt secure in improving the work; she is well-read and has excellent recall with a wide knowledge base of form, style, history, pop culture, and philosophy. I am so grateful I got her eyes on my work.”
— Sean Dance Fannin, Playwright & Dramatist
“Emma is a very talented, intuitive and creative dramaturge. She strikes an excellent balance between positive/supportive feedback and questions/constructive criticism. Emma provides a list of plays, articles, or any piece of art that might help with your writing, which I found useful. Additionally, Emma provides a one-line sentence describing the plot and first-impressions of your work, which is invaluable to hear as a writer looking for a new perspective. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
— Natalia Knowlton, Playwright & Theatre Maker
“Emma’s work is invaluable and I cannot rate her highly enough. Not only was she super speedy but her notes and thoughts pushed me as a writer to think deeper but also understood the piece and didn’t want to change it too much. My play is way better for having had time with Emma, and I as a writer have learned so much from what she offered me.”
— Lucinda Coyle, Writer, Musician, & Actor
“Emma did for me what most playwrights can only dream of: read my script with honest, thoughtful consideration, and provided feedback. For most playwrights, it's a pleasure just to have a pair of eyes to read our scripts, but to put real care into how we can make it better, make it make sense, is invaluable. Emma made me a better writer, and a better artist. ”
— Jake Alexander, Playwright
“Emma’s ability to get to the heart of what a play is about and ask the questions that need to be asked is simply incredible. Her depth of knowledge about theatre and literature was very valuable, and the works she suggested to read in relation to my play’s subject matter were quite enlightening. With her help as a dramaturge, I have been able to further refine and develop my play, to the point that I am now in the process of getting it produced. I cannot recommend her enough!”
— Ben Edwards, Actor & Playwright
