TESTIMONIALS FROM WRITERS, PRODUCERS, & SHOWRUNNERS

BRENT FORRESTER

The Simpsons (Fox), The Office (NBC), Space Force (Netflix)

Liz is an outlier. A gifted writer and Mensa-level puzzle nerd who followed the magic rabbit of her genius into the maze-like warren of the mystery genre, and returned with an enchanted toolbox of practical insights into the craft. You cannot call yourself a writer of procedural fiction if you have not taken Liz Thompson's ‘Clue Trails!’

MEGAN KELLY

Teenage Bounty Hunters (Netflix), The Decameron (Netflix), St. Marks (CBS)

Liz has one of the best story brains of anyone I know. Ok, I'll say it -- THE best. She's offered invaluable insight into several projects of mine, always with an eye toward cracking story to create a great series engine, no mean feat! She's such a resource, and her enthusiasm is infectious. I highly recommend working with Liz!

ARIELLE DIAZ

Last Man On Earth (Fox), Gentefied(Netflix), Big Shot (Disney), With Love (Amazon)

Liz's story knowledge is precise like a surgeon. She knows exactly why a story is working or not working and is able to provide perspective and solutions as well as references from her extensive brain catalogue of television series. She is truly one of the most generous and talented writers I know. I trust Liz with notes and ideas and her ability to elevate any script to excellence. I couldn't recommend a better investment in yourself and your work than working with Liz.

DAVID RADCLIFF

Tracker (CBS), The Rookie (ABC), Waffles + Mochi (Netflix)

Liz is truly one of the most versatile, dedicated, and generous writers I've ever met. She studies and executes on storytelling as if it's a second language and with enviable fluency. She also offers a mix of intelligence, patience, empathy, and humor that more folks in the industry would be wise to model.

NATASHA M. HALL

Virgin River (Netflix), Saint X (Hulu)

Instead of waiting for the muse to strike, Liz's course provides you with a dependable method that can be applied to any idea, designed to spark enough details for a one-pager that is both personal and resonant! As you use the method more and more, you'll eventually amass an impressive roster of ideas that can be pulled out at generals or even as you break a story on staff. Simply put, this course will add untold value to your writing career!

JONATHAN T. COLEMAN

EVP Guy Walks Into A Bar (Sully, The Professor and the Madman)

When Liz reads your draft, she immediately knows what works, what doesn't, and most crucially: why. Her insights are priceless, thank God her rates aren’t. Looking forward to the next one we get to do together.

SAMM HODGES

Creator of Downward Dog (ABC)

I’ve worked with Liz as a brainstorming partner and story consultant. She’s fast, reliable, deeply knowledgeable, and smarter than any of us. Thankfully, she’s also nice.

If you’re looking for someone to help you identify your voice and develop a script, I highly recommend Liz. With her thoughtful questions in our first consultation, Liz magically helped me access a part of myself that I thought was long gone. Within a month, I finished a pilot that I am proud of, which helped me get repped. Liz is a logical story genius who provides actionable alts and notes. But even more wonderful is what a kind and compassionate person Liz is, and how generous she is with her experiences and support.
