“Elena brought me from outlining right through to finished pilot. I now look at characterisation in a whole new light, which I know will not only help my scriptwriting but will improve the depth of my writing in general. Elena’s feedback is amazing and concise. I’ve learned so much and I encourage anyone to work with her — it will only make your story stronger.”

Helena Duggan, best-selling children’s author

“Elena was extremely congenial and approachable and most impressively open to speak to us all and engage us in helpful conversation. Elena’s enthusiasm for her work and the industry were infectious, and her knowledge and expertise were inspiring.”

Peter Davenport, Writer/ Film Director, Flintboy Productions

"Elena hosted an incredible session for our team of Producers and Designers. Not only did she demystify the process of pitching for television, she empowered us to be creative with several workshops and creative exercises to help us work through ideas in a fun and structured way. Everyone on the team came away feeling excited about our ideas and how we could use this process in the future. It was engaging, professional and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Elena!"

Mara Alperin, Senior Story Producer, Wonderbly

“Elena’s presentation and feedback were invaluable and I plan to take everything on board in further developing my pitching skills and style.”

Harry Batten, Nottingham Trent University

“Elena’s infectious warmth as a person and teacher, combined with her passion for writing is an incredible combination. Her style of teaching is fluent and engaging, and I gained an enormous amount of insight into the industry, and came away from the workshop with a bank of knowledge about character creation. The three hours of the workshop flew by!”

Yasmine Conway, Creative Professional for Stage and Screen

“I was lucky enough to attend Elena’s masterclass on pitching (which ended up being one of the most memorable classes we had all year).”
