    Are you done battling with pretentious pen-ninjas armed with inflated egos and empty promises? My most extraordinary superpower as a freelancer is something that is becoming as scarce as snake shoes... a strong work ethic. Yes, I can throw all the other stuff in there about having three degrees, including an MBA, years of corporate managerial experience, and other shiny accolades. But I believe that my no-BS guarantee to deliver high-quality work on time, all the time, trumps all of that, and I have a tank full of testimonials to prove that. I can assist you with everything from copywriting, content creation, and creative writing to poetry and I’ll do so in a professional yet friendly manner. Communication is key, and transparency turns me on. Feel free to take a gander at my portfolio, and if you see something that you like, please contact me so we can get started on your FREE trial piece to see if I’ll be the right fit for your project. Thanks for taking the time to read this unusual bio

    My name is Michael Celender. I’m a Johannesburg-based screenwriter, script editor and consultant, with solid experience also in copywriting and technical writing. Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, but also lived in Los Angeles and Tel Aviv for a number of years. Originally studied advertising, then switched and got a degree in accounting. I taught, lectured and developed accounting courses, publishing my own series of accounting books and started my own educational website, which bloomed to over 100,000 visitors per month (I personally wrote all 500+ articles on the site). In terms of copywriting, I worked at a non-profit for years (fundraising and book sales) and have written for a variety of corporates. I've composed product descriptions for an e-commerce brand (selling on platforms like Amazon and eBay), I've written corporate video scripts, developed social media marketing videos for start-ups and entrepreneurial brands, wrote sales funnel pages, consulted on a corporate video shoot, and more. In terms of screenwriting my main claim to fame is a full adaptation deal I did with the author of "He Died Alone in Tijuana" (adapting this book/memoir into a full feature). This screenplay, "Crossing Borders," placed as a semi-finalist in the 2019 WeScreenplay international screenwriting contest and received a top rating from a NATAS Emmy-winning screenwriter - rated in the top 5% of scripts reviewed, with comments like: "I found this to be an incredibly unique, compelling story... There was some fantastic visual storytelling throughout the script." The story has been under consideration by the likes of Shaia Labouef and Kit Harrington (Game of Thrones). My South African dramedy feature, "Affirmative Action," was a 2016 beneficiary of the National Film and Video Foundation's development grant and placed as a semi-finalist in the 2019 Muse Awards. I’ve also helped a top Israeli producer promote his slate of projects, I’ve consulted with a sports/music celebrity on adapting his children’s series, and My debut short film, a near-future sci-fi romance, is slated for release in the first half of 2025.

    I'm an enthusiastic creative, who is passionate about the arts, people and learning. From a very young age I've always been drawn to art and colorful atmospheres. This attraction lead me down the path of photography, videography and sketch art.

A great way to combine my passion for people and the arts, by creating and engaging in fun filled and eye opening conversations with the students I've had the honor of meeting. I have plenty of experience teaching people of all ages and walks of life. I've taught online, offline, one-on-one and group classes.
