"I highly recommend Laura Mannino as a screenwriting coach. Last year, it was extremely difficult for me to focus on writing. Laura Mannino's guidance with making attainable writing goals helped me through life's highs and lows and gave me hope and motivation. Laura is a therapist, cheerleader, and coach all rolled into one, and with her support, I feel confident about slaying those writing goals."

- Veronica Chavira, TV & Feature Drama Writer

"When I signed up for the Austin Film Festival Pitch Competition, I had no idea how to prepare or what to do. Another screenwriter connected me with Laura, and I’ve worked with her ever since. She was instrumental in guiding and encouraging me as I prepared for AFF. Then, she assisted me in writing a pitch deck for another script and developing a written pitch for Netflix. I couldn’t imagine doing any of this without her!"

- Rangeley Wallace, TV Drama Writer

"A pitch is a poem with its own Hollywood rules - and if you don't know them, writing a pitch can feel like a horror show. I wrote a GREAT script - why does it feel like I'm about to go onstage without the right words in my underwear? Laura taught me the form and helped me hone my pitch ahead of a huge opportunity. Not only did it crush, but I'm now confident in pitching future projects because she did such a great job helping me understand why the pitch worked. I can't recommend Laura enough!"

- Kim Dilts, Feature Comedy Writer

"Laura is *exactly* what I need to help me wrangle my ideas into coherent action. Her objectivity and epic organizational skills bring so much clarity to my thoughts. Laura curates our time to meet my needs. She’s flexible, positive, encouraging, and realistic. She’s a fantastic listener and always has my stated goals in mind. I highly recommend Laura!"

- Mandy Schmieder, Actress & Filmmaker  

"I moved recently and barely had time to brush my teeth during the transition, but I still wanted to write a movie synopsis and pitch. Laura offered me the guiding hand to set and meet realistic weekly goals. Without her support, I probably would have tabled the project until after the chaos. Instead, we celebrated my wins together!"

- Jeanée L., Feature Comedy Writer

"Working with Laura to develop my pilot’s logline was an absolute lifesaver. She brought a fresh perspective, asked insightful questions, and was able to distill a very complex world into a concise logline. Loglines are insanely hard for me, but Laura made it easy. I 10000% recommend Laura for all your logline woes!!!"

- Melanie F., TV Drama Writer

"Laura is the screenwriting coach I've been waiting for! Her feedback helped me find direction in a fresh concept and provided me with guiding questions to use as the next steps in developing my character. Her positivity, supportiveness, and vast experience in the comedy world were exactly what I needed!"

- Sarah White, Half-Hour TV Writer

"I cannot recommend Laura enough. Her approach, encouragement, and positive nature make such a difference. Check out her accolades. She's more than just talk. She knows her stuff!"

- Wendy Appelbaum, TV & Feature Writer

"I highly recommend working with Laura. I felt like I was talking to a super knowledgeable friend who really wanted to see my work come to life. Laura had the best questions that made me think about ways to flesh out my characters and develop storylines. Laura gave me notes on two different scripts. I walked away feeling like I had good ideas that were worth developing. I also felt excited about working on my scripts in a way I hadn't felt when re-writing on my own. I am signing up for more!"
