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.”
