What People Are Saying…
“In Dreams is a script with a ton of fantastic elements that completely obliterate any potential weakness. There are virtually no areas within the script where change can be considered…it’s like grasping at straws to find a flaw.”
— WeScreenplay (In Dreams)
“Believable dialogue is one of the hardest things to master in screenwriting, yet all of Haley’s characters have wonderfully distinct voices.”
— The Screencraft Fellowship (The Ties That Bind)
Haley writes stories that embrace the daily indignities of being human, bringing a fresh perspective and biting wit to her tales of love, sex, family, female friendships, and growing up uncool. She injects fresh, modern subject matter with warmth and wit, crafting sharp, relatable, and memorable characters.
