Kaitlin Saltzman – Editor

A seasoned television executive bringing story development skills to a new space.

Overview

I'm a seasoned producer and television executive of almost a decade, with a number of sold scripts under my belt in Hollywood. While TV and books are certainly different forms of entertainment, a good story is a good story; and I'm a good storyteller.

I can work in a number of different ways, but skill set I bring is a keen eye for the best and most effective way to tell a story. If you're looking for the following, I'm your girl:

- Character development

- Plot development

- Marketplace considerations

- Film/ TV adaptability
