“Nat Luurtsema is a brilliant writer, teacher, guide and coach. She truly understands structure at a deep level and is an expert in character & dialogue. She is able to guide creatives to find their own voice and support them in craft with warmth and grace. I thoroughly recommend her as a BAFTA nominated practitioner herself.”

“Nat and Mark mentored and tutored me through writing my first script and treatment for television. Their experience as professional writers provided valuable insight into the industry, highlighting the differences in the style and technique of writing for television compared to other mediums. They approached mentoring with a genuine interest in helping me tell the story I wanted to tell and celebrated my successes while guiding me through challenges. Whether you’ve never written for TV before or want to improve your craft, Mark and Nat provide a safe, specialized, creative space to build confidence and improve your writing.”

“Nat is one of the most prolific and dedicated screenwriters you’ll ever meet. Her support of people in the industry - myself included - extends far beyond platitudes and generic feedback. She can pinpoint problems exactly and offer tangible insights on how to fix them.”

“I’ve worked with Mark for many years and he’s one of my favourite writers to work with. Hugely creative and imaginative but also with one of the strongest senses of how to structure, start, and reveal character of any writer I know. His razor sharp technical, narrative, and comedic awareness is always on the money and he’s also utterly devoid of ego, which makes working with him an absolute pleasure. I cannot recommend Mark highly enough. ”

“Mark helped me with my first film script. He helped me to understand what I needed to do to make the transition from writing for the stage to writing films. The great thing about Mark is that he can see the potential in scripts and works with writers to help them realise it. You feel he’s on your side, rather than just telling you what you have to do.”

“Mark taught me so much in such a short period of time, all of which I’ve been able to apply to every script I’ve written since. He really took the time to understand my personal intentions behind the script and worked with me to ensure I could achieve those goals. His feedback was always clear and comprehensive with great insights into the industry. He has improved my scriptwriting enormously and he’s also just lovely to work with!”

“Nat and Mark mentored and tutored me through writing my television script. It started as my final project for my master’s degree, and through Nat’s support has become a bigger project I am now turning into a novel series. Their advice and knowledge of the industry was invaluable to me and their feedback was always inspiring and uplifting even when pointing out areas of improvement. If you want mentors who will champion you and give you a safe space to develop your voice then look no further than Nat and Mark.”
