Kate Leys is a script and story editor who has spent her entire life thinking about scripts, films and stories.  She doesn’t write, direct or produce, and she doesn’t do much of anything else either, she just does this one thing: works with screenwriters and filmmakers on the stories they tell.

Script Editing

What does a script editor actually do?  Is it really just ‘cutting out the bad bits’?  Actually it’s a job that combines diplomacy with practical analysis, so the workshop will fall roughly into two halves: how to read a script, and how to help a writer develop their work.
