what writers have to say
“Al’s passion and input during the rewriting stage was instrumental. He asked all the right questions, pushed all the right buttons and led me toward a greater clarity of my project in a fully engaged, insightful and supportive way.”
Jordan Rane
“I cannot recommend Al highly enough. He’s my guy. If you take your career seriously, make him yours.”
Jessica Sharzer
“Al Watt is a master teacher, with a brilliant, intuitive understanding of story.”
Allen Zadoff
“Al is not only a brilliant writing teacher, but a spiritual guide and that is what sets him apart from any other writing teacher. It would have taken me years to gain the understanding that my sessions with Al have given me.”
Sophie Uliano
“Al instills a fundamental knowing that we are uniquely qualified to tell our stories, that our conscious mind is a filter through which passes our creativity, and that the trick is to not let it get in the way but rather provide a structure under which we can create.”
Donna Powers
“Al’s script consultations are deeply grounded in the script’s inherent dramatic momentum. Al has a sharp and compassionate eye for where a story wants to organically unfold and where extraneous ideas might be getting in the way.”
Dave Polsky
“I’ve published three novels to some acclaim, but I never send a work to a publisher before Alan Watt has gone through it and shown me how to make it better.”
Eric Miles Williamson
