Hire the Best Screenplay Professionals

AWARD WINNING FILMMAKER/SCREENWRITER SUNDANCE-PREMIERING ASSISTANT DIRECTOR "You can always make a good story better." I am truly passionate about storytelling. Filmmaking, writing, photography, or podcasting, I believe if you look hard enough, everyone has a story worth sharing. My experiences in the entertainment industry, professional art world, civil litigation, circus administration and Chinese acrobatics, coaching high school lacrosse, saving bees, and my relentless curiosity, have taught me how to craft a spellbinding story to capture an audience and leave them changed forever. As an experienced ghostwriter for feature-length films and television pilots, I am confident I know what the industry is looking for, and I have built a solid milestone process for bringing your successfully from idea to finished screenplay (and hopefully one day, the silver screen!) I'd love to hear more about your project, and hopefully there's a story we can tell together... I'm "mysterytin" everywhere. Don't hesitate to reach out (rather than here).

I am an award-winning screenwriter, story development consultant, and script analyst with more than a decade of professional experience helping writers, producers, and studios take projects from rough idea to production-ready script. I specialise in emotionally rich, character-driven stories for film, TV, audio drama, games, animation, and branded content. My work spans everything from contained indie dramas and true-story adaptations to animated explainers, murder mystery games, and high-concept genre pieces. Some quick credentials: • MA Screenwriting (Distinction, UWE) and BA Film Production (First Class, UCA) • Founder of Script Lighthouse, providing story development to clients worldwide • Script reader and analyst for organisations such as the BFI, ScriptUp, Script Studio, Unsolicited Scripts, The Pitch Film Fund, The Film Exchange, and Sheffield Global Cinema Festival • Experience with production companies including Wrong Dimension Productions, Moose Alley Films, Pood Studio, Red Amber, Soul Sentinel Productions, Tasnim Creates, Spiral Media, and more • Multiple awards, including Filmarket Hub’s Project of the Month and Best Screenplay at 48HFP Amsterdam On Upwork, I typically help clients with: • Script development and rewrites Taking a draft that is “almost there” and shaping it into a tighter, more emotionally satisfying script with clear structure, sharper dialogue, and stronger character arcs. • Script coverage and in-depth notes Professional reader-style reports covering premise, structure, character, theme, tone, pacing, dialogue, and market positioning, with precise, practical recommendations. • Book-to-screen adaptation Translating novels, memoirs, and true stories into cinematic screenplays or series bibles that preserve the heart of the original while working for screen. • Concept development and beat sheets Helping you clarify your idea, build a robust spine (logline, premise, theme, character journeys), and map out a scene-by-scene outline. • Explainer, animation, and e-learning scripts Crafting narrative-driven scripts and storyboards that make complex ideas clear, engaging, and visually playable for animation teams and clients. Clients often tell me they value my ability to: • Quickly understand what they are trying to say and why it matters • Offer honest but tactful feedback that respects their voice • Find solutions that are both creatively exciting and practically achievable • Bring a calm, organised, collaborative presence to the process Whether you need a full script, a page-one rewrite, detailed coverage on a draft, or a development partner to help shape a project over time, I would be happy to help. Send me a brief description of your project, what you are hoping to achieve, and where you are in the process, and we can work out the best way forward.

Here to help take your script or idea to the next level! With a decade’s worth of experience as a script reader for companies such as The Black List, Andrew Lauren Productions, The Donners’ Company, Coverfly, Shore Scripts, and many more, I bring extensive knowledge of scriptwriting to any project. Working in development has allowed me to understand what makes a project stand out and how to get it to the point of selling. Whether that be editing your project, providing feedback, or adding my own writing to your idea, I will be happy to be a collaborative partner and add complete professionalism from start to finish. Having spent a long period of my career in development, I have shifted my focus more toward my own writing. This has allowed me to see tremendous success in my own projects, with my psychological thriller, THRESHOLD, ranking in the top lists on The Black List for the genre. It has received glowing reviews, calling it “hard to put down,” “leaves us on the edge of our seats,” and one reader stated that “Because this script is so well written, it feels as if it could be a strong calling card for the writer.” Outside of my own writing, I have also helped numerous clients ghostwrite and punch up their scripts. This work has spanned all different genres and mediums, from noir to comedy to thrillers and dramas, including work in TV, Film, Podcasts, and YouTube. I am a highly adaptable writer and have the right experience to make any project stand out. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions about rate or turnaround times. Thanks for reading, and I hope to work together soon!

Studied screenwriting at UCLA I’m a screenwriter, story consultant, and script coach who helps writers turn ideas into powerful, production-ready scripts. Over the years, I’ve worked with a large number of clients through this platform and elsewhere, writing original screenplays, video game storylines, providing detailed script coverage, and guiding writers through every stage of their creative process. I specialise in science fiction, horror, and action; which are genres that demand high-concept ideas, strong world-building, and real emotional connection... but I’m equally at home in any genre. At the core of every project is the same important idea; that great stories resonate with an audience because of compelling characters, no matter the setting or style. If you’re looking for someone who can write, analyse, and elevate screenplays, please feel free to get in touch. Whether it’s coverage, coaching, or full screenwriting, I can help you turn your story into something that stands out.
