"Mara is a real professional who has impressed very much. We highly recommend her services."
Brian Gow, Producer
​
"Mara is not only extremely helpful and knowledgeable but a joy to work with. She put a lot of effort into my script and really dissected it. She didn't just go through it for minor errors then send me on my way. She took the time to understand the world, the characters, and the themes that my script was trying to communicate. I highly recommend Mara to anyone who wants to take their screenplay to the next level. In 3 hours with Mara I learned more about screenwriting than I have in the past 6 months. She is truly excellent at what she does."
Ryco Newton-Block, writer, NYC

What Actors Say
​
"Mara's characters are people we all know and her dialogue is wonderfully real. As an actor, the faster you can get a script off book, usually means the better it is, because it flows and makes sense; that's her writing. Her screenplays are a pleasure for me as an actor."
​
"You should be very proud of this movie [DETOURS]."
