Screenwriter - produced

10 of my low-budget feature scripts have been produced. My novels, THE VIDEO KILLER (horror) and BLEEDING KANSAS (historical Western), were published by 2 different traditional publishers. I’ve written/rewritten over 65 feature film scripts on assignment for producers all over the world. Member Horror Writers Association. MFA USC Cinema. I've written/rewritten 18 novels as a ghostwriter on assignment, many published, others in the pipeline. A recent ghostwritten adventure novel was named a #1 Bestseller on Amazon in its category. I can be as independent or as collaborative as you like, and I write quickly. I'm happy to send pages on a regular basis, and I respond well to notes. I will tell you if I'm not the best choice to write your book or screenplay. I'm also available for script doctoring, novel editing, and basic proofreading. If your first language isn't English, I can help with "sounds like translation" issues. I enjoy script-to-novel transplants, and novels to screenplays as well. Please look me up on imdb, and my books on Amazon. Also check out my feedback here on Upwork. Thanks for considering me, Dave Eisenstark From a publisher to one of my clients: "Your prose flows very well and I can honestly say this is one of the more polished manuscripts I've received. Your editor has done a great job."

"If I could give David six stars, I would. I came to him with an adapted screenplay first draft that needed substantial editing because of page count and formatting issues. First, he gave me five full pages of preliminary substantive formatting review comments. Then I hired him to reduce the page count and resolve some plot inconsistencies. Within the allotted time, he proceeded to cut the page count down to an acceptable level. He even rewrote some scenes and explained how and why they were improved. He then provided 15 additional pages of substantive comments AND provided creative new plot ideas to improve the story. To top it off, he even indulged my request for a final skype call to discuss his comments. Extremely satisfied and would definitely hire him again."

"I am very grateful to upwork for helping me find such a talented and hard working person such as David. He communicated very efficiently and was always seeking feedback for his progress. Unfortunately, due to my time restraints, I wasn't able to provide timely feedback. Regardless, David worked with my schedule and continually gave me weekly updates on the work. David has a vivid imagination which helped to expand my story which was still full of plot holes. With little guidance, he was able to transform my short story into the novel that I wanted it to become. He has very good storytelling skills - I highly suggest reading some of his work. The usage of adjectives to describe scenarios helps put the reader into the scene. He responds well to criticism, and tries to help you to shape the story rather than write it all himself. He responds very quickly to any questions and gives a lot of feedback using his experiences of being published and such. As you can see, I am very happy with having worked with David and I would definitely recommend him to anyone. His rates are more than reasonable for his talent level and I am very happy to have worked with him. The only downside is that he went to USC. (I am from UCLA so there is a bit bias there ^^) Thank you David once again for your awesome work and I hope that this review helps to bring you more clients who undoubtedly will be pleased with your work. Good luck."
