Your Annual Unlimited Coaching Plan (AUCP) offers unlimited career coaching sessions, including in-person meetings, calls and emails with Lee Jessup. All work associated with the AUCP will be dedicated to career coaching in the screenwriting space and/or related entertainment industry space, and may take place over email, by phone or in person.

Lee Jessup will provide ongoing insight, constructive criticism and knowledge to guide Client, i.e., writer, writing team or partners, towards effective and lasting forward motion in his entertainment-related career. Success or failure depends on a variety of elements, including: The quality of client’s work, the ability of client to complete assigned tasks in a timely fashion, as well as client’s candor. Elements such as industry trends, market needs and changing project viability are beyond both client’s and Lee’s control.

By agreeing to work with a client, Lee neither endorses the writer, deems him viable for a screenwriting or TV writing career, nor does she vouch for his ability to succeed in the screenwriting space in accordance with his unique career expectation. Lee’s role is that of a career coach, whose aim is to provide guidance, support, insight and advice  as the writer pursues his desired career path.

A successful coaching relationship requires participation from both coach and client. While coach is expected to provide perspective, knowledge, guidance, industry insights and thoughtful recommendations related to both creative and strategic efforts, client is expected to respect relationship boundaries, follow coach’s advice or engage in thoughtful discussion when deviating from it, consistently deliver elements (be they work, networking efforts, or other industry-related initiatives) recommended for desired progress.

The AUCP is non-refundable and non-transferable. However, should client continuously fail to deliver agreed-upon work or systematically miss pre-scheduled meetings, Lee may cancel this AUCP without providing a refund. Should the AUCP be terminated for force-majeure-related reasons, refund will be issued after the total number of sessions, be they phone or in-person, are calculated and paid for in full. In the case of a plan cancellation, sessions missed without 24-hour cancellation will be charged in full.  Sessions will be calculated based on $225/session, with an intake calculated at $275 without a script read, or $449 with a script read. Additional elements purchased in association with the AUCP (intake, script read), will not be refunded should plan be terminated. Outline and other preparatory or pitch material reviews are calculated at $100 per review should the plan be terminated. Extensive emails and research will be charged at $75 per email should the plan be terminated.

Not included in the AUCP are script reads, which will be charged at $220 for feature reads up to 120-pages, $200 for 1-hour pilot reads up to 65-pages, and $180 for 1/2-hour pilot reads up to 38. Additional pages beyond the page limit will be charged at $1 per page.

While Lee does share her proprietary career coaching tools with her clients, Lee does not provide written documentation of any kind, including (but not limited to) coverage reports, development notes, written career assessments, etc. All input, advice, guidance, insight and suggestion will be provided verbally. Client may record sessions or take notes during a session if so desired.

Sessions are scheduled in one-hour increments, should be scheduled at least 7-business days in advance, and are based on Lee Jessup’s availability. If scheduled from one day to the next, availability is NOT guaranteed, though best attempts will be made to make a session available within 7 business days of time requested unless Lee is on vacation or sick leave. All in-person sessions will take place at Lee’s location of choice. Lee is not available for sessions over the weekend or during holidays.
