1:1 Coaching

with Julia Meltzer

Ease.

Flow.

Vision.

And half-hour TV comedy :)

Welcome! I’m Julia. I help screenwriters find flow and move their careers forward (and have fun doing it).

I also help TV comedy writers craft outstanding, bulletproof half-hour pilot samples.

Julia coaches writers 1:1 on Zoom or in person (in West Hollywood or downtown LA).

She helps writers with projects in various stages (from “I don’t even have an idea” to “I have a draft”)...

...and careers in various stages (from “I think I might like to be a screenwriter” to “I have staffed on multiple shows”).

If you are curious about how Julia can help you, please fill out the below form and she’ll get right back to you.

1:1 coaching starts at $250 and payment plans are available.

Who am I?

I’m Julia - I’m a Los Angeles-based screenwriter, writing coach, and postpartum doula/lactation educator. I started my career in entertainment as a development assistant for Modern Family star Ty Burrell’s production company before selling my original multicam pilot YOURS, MINE & PAUL’S to 20th Century Fox Television in a competitive situation; it later sold to ABC with Burrell producing and Sarah Hyland attached to star. My next pilot, MARRIED WITH FRIENDS (also a multicam), sold to CBS in the room; I then went on to adapt the Israeli TV series THE STYLIST into a feature film for Amazon Local Originals. I also developed an original single cam pilot, MORE KIDS THAN PARENTS, with Fanfare Productions, and wrote on the scripted audio series THE GOOD LIFE (Broadway Video and Audible).

During the 2023 writers’ strike, I staved off credit card debt (kind of) by teaching pilot writing classes through the Upright Citizens Brigade Training Center, and discovered that not only could I do, I could also teach :) I am now a sought-after screenwriting coach with an in-depth curriculum for three-act structure in half-hour pilots, and after observing my students’ challenges that could not be addressed by understanding how an effective pilot is structured, I developed tools to help screenwriters to overcome procrastination, writer’s block, and career stagnation. My coaching has been described “a magical drug,” “a godsend,” “perceptive as hell” and “legit brilliant.”
