Hi, I’m Jennifer Barrow, a screenwriter, script consultant, and educator with 18+ years of experience developing film and television projects. I provide clear, actionable feedback on structure, character arcs, pacing, and dialogue to help writers strengthen early drafts and move scripts toward production. I thrive in live discussion settings (lassrooms, workshops, and discussion-based sessions) where collaboration respects the writer’s voice while elevating the work. I’ve guided writers through revisions, led script workshops, and taught screenwriting at UNC Wilmington and Cape Fear Community College. My work includes producing and developing projects for Hallmark and Netflix, and I bring a practical, collaborative approach to move scripts from idea to production while honoring each writer’s unique perspective.
