What the tribe has to say
“The mentorship of the Tough Love Tribe offered me a great opportunity to work with people who have a deep passion for the craft of screenwriting. The one-on-one note sessions provided in depth analysis of the current script and a roadmap to an elevated project to meet Hollywood expectations.
The combination of education and camaraderie made it fun and challenging. I guess the simplest way to say it is you get a fresh perspective on what it takes to open eyes in Tinseltown.
The group sessions take you through a step-by-step process that builds a solid foundation and improves your command of the craft.
To put the cherry on top, Rosie and Lawrence make it a fun experience for everyone.”
Guy Crawford, Screenwriter“Rosie and Lawrence have created a mentor group that feels both welcoming and industry focused, and is a safe space where screenwriters are supported, challenged, and guided with genuine care and real professional insight.
Their feedback is thoughtful, their development strategies are practical, and their commitment to each writer’s growth is unmistakable. For anyone looking to sharpen their craft, find their voice, and join a community that celebrates collaboration and high-level storytelling, this group is an inspiring place to grow.”

“The mentorship with Rosie and Lawrence has been nothing short of career changing. They are so talented and well learned and have all the tools to elevate every person that has the opportunity to work with them. Our sessions are thought-provoking, and creatively deep, creating an environment of love and support while constantly pushing writers to their fullest potential.
These are people you should be BEGGING to learn from!”
Samuel J Ater, Screenwriter“The mentorship with Rosie and Lawrence has been fantastic. They’re very supportive, knowledgeable, and eager to help in any way they can. Sessions with them are a great mix of professional challenge with fun hangout-talking-stories vibes. They are definitely people you want in your corner!”
“Joining Rosie and Lawrence’s Tough Love Tribe has been a game-changer for my writing process. Between the dynamic group calls, candid one-on-one sessions, and rigorous, regular draft feedback, the structure pushes you to elevate your craft with every revision.
What truly sets them apart is their industry knowledge and the fact they’re actively working on their own current projects right alongside you. You never feel like a student sitting in a lecture, you feel like part of an authentic writer’s room, supported by peers and mentors who know exactly what it takes to get quality work onto the page.
If you’re serious about taking your screenwriting to the next level, this is the mentorship you want.”
“I had the priviledge of working with Rosie and Lawrence in a scriptwriting mentorship, and the two of them make an unbeatable pair. Lawrence was the good cop: warm, encouraging, and quick to spot what was working on the page. He made me feel like a real writer and gave me the confidence to keep going when a draft felt shaky.
Rosie was the bad cop, and I mean that as the highest compliment. She was blunt, exacting, and never let a lazy scene, soft stakes, or a line of flabby dialogue slide, and every note she gave made the script sharper.
Lawrence told me what I was doing right, and why it mattered. Rosie told me everything I was getting away with, and refused to let me keep getting away with it. That push and pull is exactly what my script needed, and the result was pages that were tighter, braver, and far better than what I walked in with.
I’d recommend this mentorship to any writer who wants to be both encouraged and challenged in equal measure.”
