A Script Professor is a Script Doctor who teaches you how to heal your own writing. The term "Script Doctor" has been part of the entertainment industry since the golden age of Broadway and Hollywood, when producers called in uncredited writers to rescue troubled scripts before opening night or principal photography. The Script Professor takes that tradition further: rather than simply rewriting your material and handing it back, this is a diagnostic and educational practice where problems in structure, character, dialogue, and dramatic action are identified, explained, and corrected with you, so you leave the process a stronger, more self-sufficient writer.

David Boles has been working as a Script Professor since 1979, trained at the Oscar Hammerstein II Center for Theatre Studies at Columbia University, where the craft of playwriting, directing, and dramatic analysis were taught not as separate disciplines but as interconnected responsibilities of a single theatrical intelligence. That training informs every script consultation: whether you are writing for the stage, for film, for television, or for new media, the work begins with the same foundational questions about conflict, stakes, and the architecture of scenes. This is not a prescription service. This is not medical. This is a working dramaturgical practice for writers who want their scripts not only fixed, but understood.

The Script Professor is available for hire. You can engage David Boles for full script analysis and rewriting, structural consultation on works in progress, scene-by-scene diagnostic sessions, or intensive private tutoring in the craft of dramatic writing. The process is collaborative, rigorous, and built on four decades of professional experience across live theatre, broadcasting, publishing, and higher education.
