Linda Seger

Linda Seger is a screenwriting coach and script consultant best known for her method of analyzing movie scripts, which she originally developed as her graduate school dissertation project on "What Makes a Great Script." She founded the script consulting industry, becoming the first entrepreneur who saw script consulting as a business, rather than an offshoot of seminars or books. She has consulted on over 2000 screenplays and over 100 produced films and television shows including Universal Soldier, The Neverending Story II, Luther, The Bridge (miniseries,)etc. Her clients include Peter Jackson, Tri-Star Pictures, Ray Bradbury, and William Kelley. She lived in Los Angeles for 25 years, and now works from her mountain home in Colorado. Unlike other screenwriting gurus, (John Truby), (Syd Field), and (Michael Hauge), she is not a screenwriter, but has focused exclusively on consulting and teaching. She has presented her seminars in more than 30 countries on six different continents, including seminars for ABC, CBS, NBC, the McGyver series, film commissions, studios, and production companies. She has trained script consultants for the countries of New Zealand, Germany, Scandinavia, Italy, and Austria. .
