Seger is interviewed in the Journal of Screenwriting. [1] Looks like a reliable source, but so far I haven't been able to view the article. Russ Woodroofe ( talk) 14:35, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Sources, supposed to confirm her false claims, "works as a script consultant", "has a doctorate degree", effectively do the opposite.
A newspaper advertorial for her spiritual seminar contains: "a job she claims", "She also professes to have a ThD".
If the Journal of Screenwriting is considered a reliable source (it shouldn't be), then it can be used as a reference for an article "How self-proclaimed Hollywood gurus scammed the NZ government". From Wiki: A cargo cult is a belief system among members of a relatively undeveloped society in which adherents practice superstitious rituals hoping to bring modern goods supplied by a more technologically advanced society.
It's a historical outlook of NZFC falling prey to American scammers, by hiring McKee and Seger to teach a new breed of script editors in seminars. Socialist countries didn't have such scams, and lots of American scammers flocked there, when the curtain fell. Religious gurus, weight loss supplements sellers, and a few screenwriting gurus.
The interview by Batty disproves her claims, for which it is referenced as a proof:
- "The Th.D. was a more professional degree... I had this relationship with both my seminary and a professional theatre".
- "a job in the United States called a reader... When I read for HBO, if I recommended a script it would then go to the next person up, who was often called the story editor".
- "I put an ad in the Hollywood Reporter... I realized I was an entrepreneur".
- "One of my most famous clients was Peter Jackson, and I worked with him". "Braindead... In my notes..." "I met him but we never worked together".
- "I wanted to talk to the Writer's Guild about credit but they were not happy about anyone getting a script consultant credit".
- Batty: "I hope that this interview will therefore be useful for those researching the history and practice of script development and 'the script guru'".
Batty fooled Seger into confessing, what a scam she is. She never had a "script consultant" job, and such job doesn't even exist in Hollywood. She doesn't have a real doctorate degree. She didn't work with Peter Jackson. Funny, how in the interview she first claimed that she worked with him, and later that she didn't.
IMDB is a weak source for WGA credits, which Seger has none.
Not a single reliable source for the claims she and her Wikipedia article make to provide credibility for her scams. Ideaorigin ( talk) 01:28, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
