"Marilyn helped me turn my raw first draft into a marketable screenplay that I ultimately produced starring Vanessa Williams and Eartha Kitt and was sold to Warner Bros."

From Melinda Metz, Writer (Roswell):
"Marilyn's classes always leave me feeling renewed and inspired. She guides each writer toward the discovery of what they truly want to say in their work, and then helps them find the creativity, courage, and skill to say it in the way that will have the most impact. There's nothing more I would want from a teacher."
