Our lives are made of stories told over countless cups of coffee, broadcast and projected onto screens, passed hand-to-hand on the printed page, and whispered in bed. We all eagerly listen to the stories of others and relish telling our own. In their simplicity and grandeur, humor and drama, stories occupy the very heart of what it means to be human.

As a writing team, we create imaginative, character-based stories for television and film —stories that get people talking, true stories that reflect the complexities of individual lives and imagined stories that mine essential elements of our shared humanity.

As industry professionals, we understand that it's hard to write good drama, harder still to write good comedy, and it's hardest of all to write a drama with comedy, which is what life is, after all.

We take our name from a poem titled “Say Yes Quickly” by Jelaluddin Rumi, the great Sufi mystic who lived in the thirteenth century. The poem affirms that it’s possible to enrich the lives of “people you don’t know and have never seen,” and we like, too, how these three words communicate a sense of the forward momentum that is essential to meeting the challenges of the creative life—a dynamic one in which “no” is a hurdle, “maybe” is limbo, and “yes” is always good news. And we love to say yes quickly ourselves when we’re entertained, moved, or impassioned by the creative work of others.

We’re based in Los Angeles and work wherever in the world our book, television, and film projects take us. We can be reached by telephone at 818.861.7590 or by e-mail at .
