I am a professional screenwriter, editor, and script doctor who has written for CBS, Paramount+, Amazon, and Paramount Pictures. I've crafted features for 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., Happy Madison, and Bad Robot. A pilot of mine was produced by NBC, as well as a children's episodic for Cartoon Network and an animated pilot for Adult Swim. I've also done short-form comedy material for entities like The Onion, HBO, and National Lampoon. I've written faith-based material for PureFlix, Super Bowl commercials, and am the Head Writer for Monarch Wine - a digital magazine devoted to vino and music. Previous to my own professional career, I worked as an Oscar-nominated screenwriter's assistant for eight years, trusted with the editing, proofreading, and content development for a number of major studio projects. I work swiftly without sacrificing quality and am adept in a number of genres. I'm a mentor with the International Screenwriters' Association and have a BFA from Emerson College. I furthered my studies with the Act One program in Los Angeles. I'm a write-at-home dad and a night owl, with a prolific output that I'd love to put towards projects like yours.

I'm Aaron. I'm a writer and editor. I write and edit copy, books, blogs, articles, and scripts. No matter what medium you're writing in, it's about telling a good story. I've had short stories published, plays produced, and screenplays optioned. I managed development for Legacy Pictures, have doctored scripts that have been produced, and have created pitches for the likes of Heelys, Mattel, Amazon Kids, The History Channel, and Travel Channel. Whether it's a line on social media, an edit of a book, a script for a spot or film, ghostwriting, or just a general inquiry, I’m happy to chat and see how I can help. Let me know if you have any questions at all. Cheers, Aaron Some Client Feedback --------------------- "I was hoping to find a proofreader/editor for my book and Aaron far surpassed my expectations.

I may be a top-rated plus Comedy Writer and copywriter with 15+ years experience, but still, my greatest achievement was winning an argument with my wife one time. Hey. I'm Adrian. I write content that sells. Content that addresses pain points and converts. Content that will get your target audience to laugh. Because humor, when done right, connects and drives results. As a COMEDY WRITER (and recovering stand-up comedian) I'll write or punch up your material so that it's dangerously funny. Screenplays, animated series, episodic series, sketches, stand up, roasts, video game scripts, comics, plays, and more. As a COPYWRITER I write unique, pinpoint accurate, and hilarious copy for B2B, B2C, SaaS, fintech, direct response copywriting, email marketing, commercials, corporate videos, VSL's, explainer videos, social media, websites, blogs, slogans, and more. As a SPEECH WRITER I've written drop-dead funny content for TED talks, TEDx talks, keynotes, fundraisers, weddings, corporate, eulogies, sales summits, motivational, and more. I've even created funny content for CPA's, dental hygienists, and data analysts. (They say it couldn't be done.) Comedy Training: Upright Citizen's Brigade, Peoples Improv Theater, NY Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, NY Film Academy, Chicago City Limits, The Actor's Project NYC. My expertise is writing humor that sells. And I would love to work with you. You've read this far so why not holler at me, shoot me a message, or invite me to your project? Let's do this.
