What services do you provide?
A wide range of project and career consulting. Depending on where you are in your career/with your project I can provide notes to improve and expert advice on next steps.
Are you similar to The Blcklst and other paid coverage sites?
Those sites can be valuable for some writers but my services are more in depth and bespoke. You will also know exactly who is reading and commenting on your material.
What do you charge?
See below for prices on some standard tasks. I’m happy to work with you so please feel to send an email or submit on the contact page with questions.
Will I need to sign a release?
Yes, to protect your intellectual property and my own industry projects a signed release will be required before I read any material. The process is simple and can be completed quickly via Docusign.
How do you accept payment?
Happy to accept payment via the service of your choice PayPal/Venmo/Zelle/etc. Paper check are even a possibility but payment is required before commencing service. All payments should be addressed to JFK Productions, LLC.
Would you ever produce something that was submitted?
I guess one should never say never but that is not the intent of my services. If I fell in love with a project and wanted to produce I would refund any monies paid, no one should offering to produce a project for pay and if they are you should report them to the WGA.
After sending my script to multiple producers in LA, Jon was the first to offer clear, actionable feedback that went beyond surface-level notes. He identified not just what wasn’t working—but why—and helped me understand how to fix it. His insights into story structure, character arcs, dialogue, and pacing were razor-sharp, and his sage suggestions pushed my script to a level where it finally felt industry-ready. Jon’s ability to see the heart of a story and guide it forward with precision is rare—and invaluable for any writer serious about breaking into Hollywood. In addition to his script notes, Jon offered honest, strategic advice on how to navigate the industry—what to expect, what to avoid, and how to position myself realistically without losing momentum.
