Jen Grisanti was an absolute godsend this season of Writers on the Verge.  Her warmth and insight in the note-giving process led to constructive workshops, and amazing scripts.  Jen has an incredible eye for story, character and dialogue.  She went above and beyond the call of duty, really getting to know the participants, catering her process to their individual styles and talents.  She’s an incredible lady who genuinely cares about shaping each piece to its fullest potential.

Jennifer understands what makes writers tick, knows how to push you so you look into yourself and extract the truth that’s in there somewhere.  Her passion, insight and enthusiasm will help you climb to great heights as a writer.  And she wears many hats — teacher, booster, coach, friend — but most importantly she’s a guide, determined to help you find your way.
Rick Muirragui, Finalist in NBC’s Writers on the Verge, Staff  Writer on PAST LIFE, Staff Writer on MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE

With her invaluable knowledge gained in the trenches of tv series production and her familiarity with all the important players in town, Jen Grisanti brings her clients unparalleled advice and wisdom, whatever their level of experience or expertise.  As a veteran writer, I was greatly impressed with the concise, helpful notes she offered to my latest spec effort.  Just as important, Jennifer guided me towards the best way to repair some relationships that had frayed over ther years — she’s particularly adept at translating the haiku that often passes for communication in Hollywood and serves as a great adjunct to both agents and managers.

At the heart of it, Jen’s business is really about helping people achieve their dreams.  During our first meeting with her, we quickly sensed that Jen brought so much more to the table than just simple feedback on our scripts.  Her vast experience in the industry, unique insights, and tremendous positive energy helped us break through professionally as well as creatively.  When we started working with Jen, we were mired in doubt and frustration after spending several years trying to break into the business.  Only a few months later, we are on a network drama staff.  Jen was with us every step of the way, from spec script outline to meeting prep, and the result exceeded our wildest expectations.  Since then, whenever fellow writers ask us how we got staffed, we tell them that it started with Jen Grisanti.

LIE TO ME

Jennifer Grisanti is the writers port in the storm. As great as you think that first pass may be, she will guide you to make it better. If you hate that first draft, she will guide you to make it better. With clear, concise notes, and an optimism and enthusiasm that is all too often lacking nowadays, you will walk away from the experience not just with better material, but as a better writer. I did.
Jorge Reyes, Television Writer
KEVIN HILL, RESURRECTION BLVD., RESCUE 77

If you’re looking for someone to email you comments about how you should “start the action sooner” or “raise the stakes,” Jen is definitely not your gal. No, instead, she’s going to pull you into a discussions about your intent, your choices, the direction of the script and its pitfalls. Then she’s going to take everything you talked about and write it up so you have it nearby when you go back in for another pass at your material. And like any fine and thoughtful editor, Jen is also a bit of a life coach, which helps you tune out the noise of this town and write honestly.

Jennifer Grisanti is the best friend a writer ever had.  Not only that, she is the ‘secret weapon’ you need to get your material noticed. From the moment we met, I knew I was in good hands. She is charming, personable, she immediately puts you at ease, and best of all, SHE KNOWS HER STUFF.  As an author and playwright attempting to make the transition into film and television, I had a lot of questions about technique as well as my ability to succeed in this highly competitive arena. Within ONE WEEK of finishing my first spec script with Jen Grisanti (a process that took less than a month), I had a high-powered manager who signed me as a television writing client. Jennifer Grisanti is ‘The Goods’!”

Jen combines her passion for story with an astute understanding of what makes a story relateable.  Nothing gets by her — whether it’s a question of character development, theme, or major story beats, her suggestions are spot on and have helped me realize each script more completely, I trust her instincts implicitly.

Jen is a true partner. It was such a relief for me to know that she was actively seeking out the best writers and directors for MEDIUM.

Jennifer Grisanti is one of the good guys. She looks you in the eye, listens with sincerity, and is quick to share her experience and wisdom. As a young writer, Jennifer took time to encourage and advise me on my first year in the business. She has been a mentor, an advisor, an advocate, and a constructive critic. As a giver of notes, Jennifer combines excellent story sense with a compassionate, polite disposition. After a notes call with Jennifer, you feel like you’ve gotten extensive feedback from someone who’s on your side.
