Susann Dettmann

A fresh pair of eyes brings clarity: What makes your story unique? What keeps audiences invested from beginning to end?

For more than 15 years, I have worked as a freelance editor, writer, and copywriter. As your ScriptCoach, I help you identify the heart of your story and make sure it beats through every scene. 

We will sharpen characters and conflicts, and test the internal logic, all while staying true to your voice, genre, and audience. From first idea to finished screenplay—I’m with you every step of the way, in German or English. 

If you’re writing dark comedy, thriller, mystery, fantasy, horror, science fiction, or crime, that’s my playground. I also have a soft spot for stories set during times of social and political transformation.

Expect honest but always constructive feedback. You’ll know what’s working and what isn’t (yet)—and together, we will move your project forward.
