"As a writer, I am so fortunate to have taken all of Kimberly Seilhamer’s classes on writing for the screen and television. She is a master! Her expertise is not only evident in her level of knowledge, but in her presentation. I have taken several writing classes and she is an expert in organization. Her lessons are easy to follow and packed with information. Each time her sessions are over, I am eager for the next. She is able to make the complex, simple. She is able to back up her lessons with examples that make the “theories” real. No wonder she is an award-winning writer."

"My writing has jumped leaps and bounds because of Kimberly's editing over the last few years. She is a phenomenal teacher and coach because she truly respects the writing, even from a beginner.and wants each writer to succeed. She has the patience to go over the material again and again, line by line, word by word to help you complete the best possible script you could write and complete a very sellable product. It is not personal when she cuts entire pages and scenes you thought were so important because it is the business of great screenwriting, one she is sincerely passionate about and knows well. . She has taught me to write lean and mean. Every word must count, and must forward the story you are telling.
Kimberly makes you reach and stretch the limits of your vision and imagination. She challenges you to improve your script with every rewrite then praises the work and the effort when you do. Each completed script is always a celebration to her. She never tires of the accomplishment and acknowledges the goal because she knows the struggle and the victory. "

"Hiring Kimberly Seilhamer is one of the most rewarding, exciting experiences I've ever had!
An absolute novice at script writing, I sent my first attempt to Kimberly Seilhamer knowing that it was full of errors and problems, and when it came back covered with notes, I was ready to abandon it and quickly communicated that to her. Her response to my post partem depression was immediate: I should schedule our phone interview and get to work on the rewrite! I reread the detailed, thoughtful notes and realized my script, my baby, had been carefully examined by an experienced, knowledgeable professional who noted everything from incorrect font and margins to incompletely developed characters and unproductive dialogue. Fascinated, I made the telephone date and an endless list of questions.
Kimberly's knowledge of her field, her incredible creativity, her responsiveness to my questions, made my fingers itch to get back to the word processor and my new draft. She was a fountain of ideas for solutions to the problems my script posed; She answered questions about the demands of the industry that I didn't even know how to ask; She pointed out how certain scenes and characters in my script violated the very genre I was working in. Her suggestions breathed potency, life into characters that had been cardboard victims. Her patience with my naivety, her willingness to listen, her sensitivity to what I wanted to create made me feel that I had, indeed, a partner in my overwhelming project.
I feel truly privileged to have access to the professional services of Kimberly Seilhamer. Working with her, benefiting from her richly creative, generous mind is an exciting, rewarding education."
