Rebecca Windsor

Rebecca Windsor – Editor

Former longtime TV studio executive and current independent producer and script consultant, I can help at any stage of your writing process.

Overview

I have over 15 years of experience working in scripted development across TV and film. I have worked at production companies developing film and TV projects, at the Sundance Institute discovering and nurturing the next generation of indie film talent, and at Warner Bros. TV where I was an executive on several scripted series as well as ran the legendary WB Writers' Workshop, where I launched the TV careers of over 65 writers.

I love working with writers at any stage - from trying to crack the initial kernel of an idea to finessing a polished script. I bring years of development experience and always approach development with the idea of helping you tell the best version of the story YOU want to tell, not what I think you should tell.
