    I'm here to give your book, script, or content the same attention, care, and experience I have given major publishers, producers of $100M+ films, and the world's largest tech companies. Gratefully, 15 years ago, my first book was picked up by Harper Collins, debuted on Amazon at #1, and enjoyed massive publicity to the point of becoming an answer on Jeopardy(!). I've been a professional creative writer ever since, as a fiction and nonfiction book author, co-author and ghostwriter - except for the fact I also love filmmaking and screenwriting and have, again gratefully, worked directly with my fair share of Academy Award-winning producers and directors here in LA. I'm passionate about all writing and I love what I do! I can - ghostwrite your piece the way I have for major publishers. - co-author with you the way I did on a book that debuted at #1 on Amazon in true crime. - coach you through writing your book or script like I have with dozens of writers. - consult with you on story/ rewrite your script the way I have with Oscar-winning directors and producers. - help you create content and articles that grab and keep eyeballs, the way I have for Oracle VPs, etc. I also know what it's like to bare your soul and invite others to help with your creative work. It's a little bit like standing naked on a stage and I know it's not easy. I hire friends, editors, and writers to read and edit my own work all the time - we are all in this together, and we can all use help! Also deep down in my resume is the fact I've been both a high school and university Literature and Writing teacher so - I have all the grammar and style stuff covered, and I've got an extra dose of patience. It's always a priority to maintain the right voice (usually, yours) while still crafting a page-turner that absolutely nails every single beat of story structure. I'm highly collaborative and easy to work with, partially because I've, well, seen it all. Fiction, nonfiction, film, television, web3, true crime, YA, fantasy, memoir, travelogue, medical, whistleblower, biography, technical writing, comedy, drama, content creation, you name it, I've written or edited it. Apart from my nonfiction and fiction book authoring and editing, I have 25 years of experience as a filmmaker - as script supervisor, development, casting director, editor, and composer. I've done quite a bit of various film and TV work at the highest levels over the years, always training myself to learn every facet of both the literary and filmmaking worlds. When it comes to screenwriting, it sure helps to have that kind of production experience. I always look at every project - book or film, from poetry to biz docs - from a holistic, high angle view in terms of commercial viability as well as artistic integrity. It always starts with theme. So the first question is - what do you care about? What do you need people to hear? Then we drop some structure on it, pay special attention to the voice - and work it till we're happy :) I'm here to help and happy to chat. And for the heck of it, apart from the fact that I've had 6-figure book deals with Harper Collins and The Pegasus Books Group, here are some other individuals and entities I've worked with, directly: Sean Penn, Roland Emmerich, Spike Lee, Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Jerry Bruckheimer, Chris Carter, Mark Gordon, Emile Hirsch, Scott Rudin, Jim Carrey, Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, Jackie Chan, Jennifer Garner, Mark Hamill, Meat Loaf Aday, Jack Douglas (music producer—John Lennon), Ziggy Marley, Damian and Julian Marley, Brandy, Third World, Shabba Ranks, Shaggy, Fran Drescher, David Levy (Robert Altman producer), Ed Saxon (producer Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, Beloved), Larry Cano (producer, Silkwood), Niels Juul (producer Martin Scorsese, Michael Mann), Roger Corman, an Elder Scroll founder, Nebula and Hugo Award-winning YA author Nnedi Okorafor, Sony, Dreamworks, Walden, Centropolis, WB, MTV, Paramount, NBC, CBS, FOX, and my own indie films as writer/ director/ producer/ editor have gone to festivals including Montreal and Gasparilla. Whew! If you got this far - thanks!

    A writer and editor with a decade of experience in the entertainment industry, including working in the writers' rooms for STRANGER THINGS and THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY. I currently write for the hit podcast HEART STARTS POUNDING (2.1 million TikTok followers, 290k+ YouTube subs, 900k+ Instagram followers). My creative "bread and butter" is writing that infuses humor with darker themes and stories, but I'm drawn to all genres. I've written: thrillers, mysteries, true crime, comedy, romantic-leaning (just not quite capital R romance), and drama. Whether in my own writing or when editing another person's project, my strength lies in knowing exactly how to make people connect to a story through an engaging plot, true-to-life characters, and compelling writing.

    🎥 30+ Screenplays Developed ✅ 10+ Years Professional Industry Experience 🎬 5 Major Studios Collaborated With Amongst The Team 🏆 25+ Award Nominations And Wins Combined …and counting! Whether it is a feature film, series, short, etc., my philosophy is that there is no concept too big, nor purpose too small. I believe that genres are meant to be explored and expanded, and characters are meant to be filled with truth. A good screenplay goes beyond the Industry standard formatting and structure – it is the blueprint for touching hearts and minds through storytelling! In my 10 years as a professional writer and producer, I have seen first-hand Hollywood’s mistakes in making cheap, uninspiring, and lack-luster content… especially these last few years. Stories have become unoriginal and shallow. My specialty is bringing a fresh, heartfelt spark to your stories that will make them stand out and captivate audiences! As someone who has worked with Disney, Amazon Prime, Warner Bros., and many more, I know the formatting ✏️ hooks 💥 and trends 📈 that studios and streamers want in a screenplay. But more importantly, I know how to weave in originality, and expand your spark of an idea into its purest, full form! 💎 I’m excited to personally work on your project as well as to collaborate with my team here at Raema Studios. What I can help YOU with: 🎬 Screenwriting Full Length Feature Films 🎬 Screenwriting TV Pilots & Series Outlines 🎬 Story Development 🎬 Feature Film & TV Series Pitch Decks With Graphics 🎬 Book & Novel Adaptations Into Screenplays 🎬 Ghostwriting I operate by the highest standards of professionalism, combining what the studios and streamers want with what your unique project needs. My team and I work fast, efficiently, and will collaborate with you to make sure you receive the best product possible. I’m excited to learn more about YOU and your story! Send me an invite to your project on Upwork or direct message if you’d like to speak to me over a complimentary Zoom consultation! I can’t wait to hear from you! R.A. Hemsley ✨ ⚡️ 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 & 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 ⚡️ I was lucky enough to attend the #4 film school in the nation, Chapman University, earning a Bachelors in Screenwriting with a minor in English. I was trained in writing and developing every genre, including adaptations, ghostwriting, & comedy sketch (SNL). During my studies, I received direct tutelage from Hollywood writing geniuses such as: 🎞Anne Beatts (one of the original writers on Saturday Night Live, with credits on more than 100 episodes) 🎞Ron Friedman (80 credits on IMDB ranging from the animated Transformers: The Movie to classic television shows spanning 40 years) 🎞Barry Blaustein (Eddie Murphy's writer for Coming to America & The Nutty Professor) 🎞Michael Schiffer (Crimson Tide, Lean on Me, scripts for the Call of Duty video game) I have written over 40 pieces of content for Disney, DC Comics, Warner Bros., Mattel, and have three titles out on Amazon Prime. My team and I have pitched to the teams at Netflix, MGM, Brownstone Productions (Cocaine Bear 2023), Rideback (Avatar: The Last Airbender Netflix series), and currently have features and series that are being considered. My proficiencies include: - Final Draft (Industry standard for screenwriting) - Movie Magic Screenwriter - Photoshop - Keynote - Canva - Google Workspace I have also seen and studied the pitch decks for some of the most successful films and series of the last eight years, specializing in pairing striking visuals with efficient copy that will convey your idea with professionalism and pizazz! I’m looking forward to working with you!!
