“Nicole is a thorough script editor and an inspiring person for a writer to work with. Her film literacy is unsurpassed. She has a canny ability to diagnose structural and character problems and provide pathways for the team to discover the solutions.” Grant Scicluna – writer/director

"You’re a story Jedi!"

Nicole joined our script development process for our immersive theatrical production, The Generation of Z, quite late in the day. Her complex understanding of story, character development and genre were perfect for what we needed. She quickly identified issues and made a number of constructive suggestions that helped amplify elements we had been working on. Our script instantly took a huge step up. Nicole was a pleasure to work with and wonderfully sensitive to our taste, our intentions and our crazy, crazy dream. Simon London, David Van Horn & Benjamin Farry, The Generation of Z (Edinburgh Festival)

“Nicole has excellent script and story skills. She has the ability to identify the problems and the skillset to know how to fix them. She is also very film and TV literate and able to make great comparisons and reference performance, which many creatives are unable to do. Nicole is liked by film makers as she is insightful, respectful and enables them to advance their projects without being unduly prescriptive." Sally Caplan, ex-head of production, Screen Australia

“I love your writing. It’s truthful, soulful, wise and funny.”

“Nicole’s input, support and creative collaboration were invaluable to the process of shaping our concepts into a readable, saleable and satisfying piece of film literature. Nicole was passionate, intensely hardworking, respectful of our material, she brought a huge amount of imagination to the table, tirelessly researched our influences within the genre, tightened our arcs, helped highlight and strengthen our themes and helped us tell the best story we could tell. In short Nicole was everything one could hope for in regards to a writers’ room partner and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anybody in the industry.”

Nicole's preparation, focus and volumes of experience spoke through. No waffle, straight to the point - backed up with examples and references, it covered a massive array of topics by logically presenting the process, and sequences.” Workshop participant

“Nicole has offered perceptive critical feedback on two of my feature screenplays. I found her enthusiasm and openness to the material to be a tonic. Her holistic observations on character, theme and plot have been invaluable to the development process and have gently but firmly nudged my writing towards an elegance of expression. There is clarity in her feedback that encourages deeper rumination of ideas and pragmatic implementation of craft. I highly recommend Nicole’s screenplay expertise.” Jonathan Ogilvie, writer/director - Head South

“The story knowledge Nicole shared, combined with her writing exercises, made for the perfect workshop and the feedback by the participants was gold.” Jackie Dennis, Script to Screen

“Nicole is a highly valued member of Screen Tasmania’s development team. She is a delightfully warm character and possesses a first class understanding of character and story structure. She is able to clearly articulate the different issues that may be obstructing the flow of a good story or screenplay and she has a wealth of experience working with a wide range of writers and producers, from emerging to highly experienced. Her approach to developing creative talent focuses less on instruction and more on inspiring people to identify problems and create solutions themselves.” Screen Tasmania – Evan Maloney and Alex Sangston
