SHESCRIBE INC.

Specializing in Film, TV, and Dance Writing!


celebrity interviews. movie reviews. industry analysis. tv program reviews. book reviews (love books about film, tv, and dance!)



One of my aims is to use my writing to provide a platform for established as well as emerging artists. I won't always say what you want to hear because I don't like everything I see. However I always respect the effort of the artists. I also believe in the old saying that all publicity is good publicity. Despite what I may think about about a film, show, actor, book, etc. this is a legitimate medium for letting people know that there are lots of artists out there working really hard at something they believe in. And that it is more than worth it to go check some of these things out!



I also aim for visitors who read my articles come away with a sense that they have learned something they did not know before; that they have moved further away from the realm of mere spectator and closer to the status of "insider". See links to some of my writing to the left.



**Let me know about your upcoming movie, screening, dance performance, book, etc. If I see/read it, I will write about it! Email me at nadine@shescribe.com IM me at shescribeinc
