Testimonials
"In twenty five years of producing film and TV, I’ve never met anyone with a finer mind for story than Kate Gray. Of all the story experts I’ve worked with, Kate is the best at immediately getting to the heart of a project, helping to find its strongest form and perfect structure.
A brilliant writer herself, Kate knows the process intimately and works with writers from a place of understanding and compassion, to get the most out of their ideas and what they have to say. I wish I had met her sooner."
"Kate is one of the smartest story brains I know. She's who I call when I need a master craftsperson to define the issues in a script and suggest solutions that work. She is able to work with writers to shape stories built with a skill that resonates emotionally."
Julie Eckersley
Former Head of Scripted Content, SBS
Producer (Glitch, Nowhere Boys, The Family Law)
"Kate Gray was incredible in the development of our show. Her capacity for considering both macro and micro story in unison is impressive. As both Script Editor and Story Producer she is an asset for any producer developing work with writers."
Kate Laurie
Producer (Magic Beach, Petrol)
"I’ve worked with Kate across a number of different projects and each time I’ve been amazed by her ability to so quickly and clearly identify upstream structural issues that may be causing a variety of seemingly unrelated problems downstream.
Core to her process is working with writers and creative teams to understand what they’re trying to say and helping them communicate this in the most effective and dramatic way possible. Kate is an incredible asset to any project and I look forward to working with her again in the future.”

"Kate is amazing! I’ve sought out her feedback on multiple scripts and will continue to do so for every project I work on. Her ability to pinpoint exactly what’s not working makes her insight invaluable.
She doesn’t just provide notes—she collaborates with me to strengthen my scripts rather than simply prescribing fixes, ensuring that each project reaches its full potential and is aligned with my overall goals for the story."

"Kate Gray has been an incredible joy to work with! She is an expert in story structure as well as a fantastic collaborative creative who is able to make meaningful offers in a room. She has been an essential part of the development process for Sharpened Knives.
Kate is able to expose the inner workings of a piece of writing, find what is working and as well as what is hindering it. Her feedback is precise, concise and actionable."

"I’ve worked with Kate Gray as both writer and script editor through my roles as Development Manager at Screenwest and Development Executive at Sandbox Productions.
Kate is highly coveted as a script editor, and for good reason. Her grasp of story mechanics and her skilful ability to help other writers mould their rough concepts into compelling scripts is unmatched. She gets ‘story’.
As a commissioned scriptwriter, Kate demonstrates innate talent. Her storytelling resonates as authentic because she’s a writer who knows what she wants to say and why, in an engaging, page-turning manner.
I sincerely look forward to working with her again."
