CAREER, SCRIPT, AND MARKETING COACHING

Direct all inquiries to donna@donnahoke.com


Available Services

  • 1 hour Face Time/FB Messenger AMA (Ask Me Anything)
  • Script Feedback: Page-by-page script analysis for a reasonable fee. Called "the best investment I've made in my playwriting career," my feedback offers detailed line, structure, and content notes that serve as a blueprint for revisions. If you've ever felt you didn't know what to do with notes you were given for your play, my line-by-line analysis may be just what you need. If interested or if you would like to see sample pages, please inquire; all queries and reading are kept confidential.
  • Second read script feedback
  • Development to submission-strong ten-minute play (intensive intended for newer writers, or those wondering why their tens aren't landing; if tens aren't landing, it's unlikely fulls will)
  • One month marketing guidance (marketing prompts, submission suggestions, help putting together submissions etc)

DISCOUNTS

  • Bundle two services, save 10%
  • Bundle three services, save 20%
  • Bundle four or more services, save 20% and get one month unlimited email advice on anything industry-related (though I'm pretty good with parenting and cat questions too lol)


Hire Me with Confidence


I am a self-taught playwright who wrote my first play in 2008, and had my first production--a full-length called THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR--in 2010. Since then, I have written more than 30 full-length plays and about three dozen ten-minute plays that have have been produced all over the US and world--all while operating from Buffalo, New York.


I also have:

  • Been an O'Neil semi-finalist and finalist
  • Been a Princess Grace Fellowship finalist and semi-finalist
  • Been on the Kilroys List
  • Won multiple national prizes, residencies, and development opportunities
  • Been commissioned by multiple entities
  • Three of the top ten recommended full-length plays on NPX
  • Never gone a year without at least one full-length production, and rarely a month without a ten-minute production
  • Multiple published plays
  • Multiple publications and in ten-minute-play and monologue anthologies
  • An agent
  • Been elected to Dramatists Guild Council
  • Been appointed a National New Play Network Ambassador at Large
  • Become part of the Dramatists Guild Plays in Progress faculty


I work steadily and, since I started, have increasingly earned more from playwriting and related activities each successive year. I can help you make your play better, and offer solid advice on marketing it and promoting it. I cannot promise you a production or an introduction, but I can help you help yourself to make those things happen if you're willing to do the work.


Your feedback was extremely detailed and to the point with concrete solutions. Absolutely worth the price.
