Mark read a couple of early drafts of my screenplay 'His First Word Was Light' and gave me really insightful feedback. I found Mark totally open and sensitive to the material, while also thorough in his analysis, and I came away with excellent suggestions on areas to clarify or tighten or ditch. Mark showed himself to be both critical (in the best sense of the word) and supportive, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a script editor or story consultant!

Mark Hennigan knows more about story structure than anyone I know. He has studied all of the most influential theorists in detail and has the ability to draw from this knowledge to help writers improve their work. But, much more importantly, he has an intuitive understanding of what makes a story bounce and what makes a reader or a viewer want to find out what happens next. Mark also has an incredibly infectious enthusiasm for the craft of writing – your writing will improve simply by talking about it with him. He knows the right questions to ask to help writers probe the depths of what they really want to say.

As a literary agent who primarily represents book authors, but also some scriptwriters, I often find I have a talented natural writer who needs close guidance and insight about the way story works in a script. Mark Hennigan has been providing one-to-one training and script analysis for those writers. He's exceptionally good at it and liked by the writers. I'm delighted to have found him.

If you want someone who knows what makes a good story tick and the ins and outs of structure to the nth degree, and who can help you apply both to your script, you should contact Mark. He is very generous with his time and feedback, which is explained to you as the writer with the utmost care. His respect for storytelling as a craft extends to the person he is talking to, so you really feel like your script is in good hands. On top of that, he has some cracking media references. I would absolutely work with Mark again on future projects.

Mark is an experienced story coach who helped me work out several story ideas for a series, then test and improve them using various story structure tools. I absolutely value his enthusiasm, ability to reference material and give examples from films and literature, and explain things in easy-to-understand terms and language.
