Client Testimonials

I have to say that my experience working with Jennifer Leo has been an overall delight. This was my first experience working with a screenwriter and as a solo author, I’ve never collaborated with anyone before. But Jennifer put me at ease and after a few Zoom meetings we developed an excellent working relationship. In our year-long journey, she brought cinema into my thriller Payne’s Limit. Thanks to Jennifer I’m readying my tuxedo for the Oscars.  - Timothy W. Sparks 


Jennifer has been great to work with. She is very patient, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Through my year of working with her, I have significantly improved as a writer. I would highly recommend working with Jennifer. -
Miles Khoury


While many script-reading services only provide anonymous written feedback, Jennifer Leo goes the extra mile by meeting with you in person to discuss everything in detail. She is accurate and thorough, yes, but her ability to read deeply into the script delivered powerful editorial insight -- the kind of feedback a writer can truly use to improve their work.  She validated our observations about both the difficulties and the highlights of the script and sparked new ideas.  She is so pleasantly efficient and professional and so knowledgeable of film that working with her is a true joy.  I highly recommend working with Jennifer! - Dee Robertson


"Jennifer Leo's Screenwriter Services took my script from tarnished to polished and now I can confidently say, I received my first major deal as a screenwriter. Thank you Jennifer!" 

- Doug James


Jennifer has been very helpful in advising me in the crafting of my screenplay.  Not only is she a proficient composition editor, but she also understands how to refine and polish a story to heighten its three-dimensional effect.  She brings both a knowledge of the business of screenwriting along with an artistic imagination. I can enthusiastically endorse and recommend Jennifer to the first-time as well as the experienced screenwriter. - Dennis Snider


Working with Jennifer Leo has been FANTASTIC! I am a very new writer and was so unsure of myself. She is so good at giving you honest constructive criticism that will make you a better writer! I am endlessly grateful for her — Noelle LaVoie


Jennifer read my first published novel and critiqued it professionally for potential adaptation — Vernon Woo, author of Paradise Pursuit.


My experience with Jennifer Leo was very helpful, she educated me on ways of tightening up my screenplay  — Richard Margarit


Jennifer Leo is a talented screenwriter with an extensive resume and years of experience. She takes pride in providing the best writing, editing and story adaptation through her extensive years in the industry — Phoebe Von Satis


Working with Jennifer is like collaborating with a friend - who just happens to be an expert.  She exceeds all expectations as my awareness and skills grow by leaps and bounds after each interaction.  Jennifer’s mentoring is priceless and I highly recommend her! — Rick D.


Jennifer was extremely insightful when she reviewed and offered advice about my feature film screenplay. Her guidance helped me not only to improve my story and dialogue, but also pointed me in a clear direction regarding what to do next on my screenwriting journey. My screenplay is a much stronger, more concise piece because of her help. — Alison Reeger Cook
