Born to a theatrical family in New York , I started acting at the age of four and was officially bored with it by 24. I went to work at Paramount Pictures and became the manager of the Story Department. It was there I learned the art of story analysis and development, studying with the best. Addicted to reading everything I could get my hands on since childhood, I have to say learning to take stories and characters apart, to see what works and fix what doesn’t, came pretty easily. I became a freelance reader for Howard W. Koch and went on to work with other producers and directors not quite as famous. I worked for Showtime Entertainment for nearly ten years, reading and doing development work on many of their award winning cable films. In 2005, I joined the staff of Atchity Entertainment, where the work of finding the best and making it better goes on.

OUR SUCCESS STORIES
literary managementDr. Nicolas Bazan’s "fable of music and the mind," Una Vida, will appear from Five Star Publishing (Linda Radke).

Born in the tiny town of Los Sarmientos in Tucuman, Argentina, Nicolas Bazan's defining moment was witnessing an aunt suffer a seizure while walking him to a music lesson when he was a young boy, putting him on the path to becoming one of the worlds premier neuroscientists.
literary managementJesse Ventura - We worked with him to find the "mythic substructure" of his life adventure culminating in being elected governor of Minnesota - and built the book, which became a New York Times bestseller, around the "Labors of Hercules."
literary managementSteve Alten - After a few months' work with Writer's Lifeline, he went from being broke to having a million dollar studio deal, and a two million dollar book deal to launch his career as a New York Times bestseller.
literary managementJohn Scott Shepherd - He wanted to write it as a screenplay, but we advised him to do the novel first--and it sold in manuscript for $1.6 million to New Line Cinema.
