I write screenplays that get purchased, produced and distributed (more than a dozen in the last ten years). Some of the titles include 2018's “Mail Order Monster,” 2017's “The Sex Trip” and 2016's “Paid in Full.” My most-recent credit is for the 2019 holiday film “The Christmas Chalet,” which was acquired by UPtv. I also wrote the Hallmark Channel's top-rated original film of 2007, "All I Want for Christmas." In addition to my work in film, I have also written and sold a number of television pilots and served as showrunner on a successful web series. As a screenwriter-for-hire, I have had the privilege of working for an Academy Award-winning producer, an Emmy Award-winning director and a Golden Globe Award-winning actor, among others. I am known for my mastery of craft, willingness to take and incorporate notes and quick turn-around times. Although it's been many years since I entered a screenwriting contest, my work has won the PAGE Awards, Slamdance, Scriptapalooza, Waterfront and Let's Make It. While I lived for many years in Los Angeles, I recently moved back to my home state of Michigan in order to be closer to my elderly parents and to help promote the state's nascent film industry.Humor WritingStory DevelopmentScreenplayCreative WritingGhostwritingScript AnalysisScreenwritingScriptwritingStorytellingScriptScriptingMovieFilm ScreenplayComedyEnglish - $100 hourly

I have nearly 6 years of professional comedy writing experience, mostly spent at The Onion. At The Onion you're expected to be a joke machine. Through the process of constantly pitching jokes, new content types, and video concepts nearly every day during that period, I have grown into a writer who can think creatively on command and find new angles to almost any topic thrown my way. Writing for The Onion also forced me to learn a little bit about everything. As a satirical newspaper, I could be asked to write or joke about any topic, and success therefore depended on quickly learning and synthesizing information on a given subject area in order to maximize the comedic value. As I continue to pursue comedy jobs in Los Angeles I'm open and excited to contribute to any project that may require a copywriter, scriptwriter, or just someone to help brainstorm or concept.Humor WritingCopywritingAd CopyContent EditingConcept DevelopmentFinal DraftCreative DirectionSports WritingCreative WritingScriptwritingScreenwritingJoke - $35 hourly

DEAREST READER: If you've ever looked up at a rainbow in awe, you'll understand why I write. The technical name is grapheme–color synesthesia, an odd perceptual quirk of the brain wherein I experience letters and numbers as having color. The letter A? Green. This sentence? Blue. The entire profile you're about to read? A double rainbow all the way. I wish I could share its beauty with you, instead of a botanical garden of words reduced to black and white. But as anyone who’s ever wandered wide-eyed through an Ansel Adams exhibit knows, the lilt of shape and play of shadow can still — in the absence of color — be just as beautiful. I hope you find that to be true. —Kate ME, IN A NUTSHELL: I'm a wildly imaginative writer, brand storyteller, and copy-editing ninja with chutzpah and curiosity for days. A rulebreaker. A go-getter. A collaborative, creative, multidisciplinary powerhouse. Basically a walking pun dispenser and a passionate slinger of well-formed bunches of letter thingies. As you can probably surmise, I am not naturally the most serious of people... except, that is, when it comes to your project.

If you are curious about my work, look for me on Amazon, I also publish a bi-weekly article for El Nativo de Tejupilco, a local newspaper in Tejupilco, Mexico. I am comfortable writing either in English or Spanish, and my pleasure in life is to tell stories, profound, silly, scary or just plain crazy stories. For many years, I worked as a ghostwriter for screenplays in Hollywood. The whole system broke me down, as it does all others who venture to Tinseltown with their dreams on their sleeve. But I survived Hollywood, and I decided to keep writing stories, and if you are patient, you might find one or two to your liking on my amazon writer's profile.Humor WritingDocumentaryScreenwritingCreative WritingShort Story WritingEbook WritingJokeYoung AdultNovelFiction Want to browse more freelancers?
