Story Consulting

When I’m not writing my own stories, I’m usually helping people with theirs. My clients are an eclectic bunch — screenwriters, playwrights, fiction/non-fiction writers and organizational leaders.

When I work with clients, I listen carefully, ask a lot of questions, and provide direct, productive feedback. In addition to specific notes, you'll walk away with a boatload of tips and tools you can use for every story you ever want to tell.

I was a teacher before I became a professional writer so I bring a passion for teaching and demystifying the creative process to every session. Feel free to reach out to me to learn more about how we might work together.

Reach Out

  • “As I talked through my book with Bill and he asked questions—incredibly intuitive questions—I saw the gaps in my own work of fiction. I also saw, with his help, what it was exactly I was trying to say, and what my characters were trying to do. In many ways I will owe the success of my novel to Bill.” –Anne Hellman | Novelist, The Indecipherables

  • “What sets Bill Gullo apart from most screenwriting consultants is that he’s a working and produced screenwriter. His very specific process and deeply personal approach to story, character and structure will be invaluable and a breath of fresh air to any screenwriter.”

    — Matthew Bonifacio | Writer/Director/Producer (The Quitter, Lbs)

  • “Bill Gullo is the ideal mentor, teacher, and collaborator. He’s exceptional at identifying the individual voice of a writer or project and helping support that unique vision, strengthening it to be the best version of itself rather than reverting to generic, paint-by-numbers narrative advice.” — Nathan Ginter | Writer/Director

  • “I was stuck in a creative rut and writing stopped being fun. Then I hired Bill to help me take an idea and flesh it out into a script for a short film. I met with Bill once a week for a few months and his encouragement and insight was transformative.”

    — Jason Moore | Cross-platform writer, producer and director
