“One of the most talented writers I’ve ever seen.” As a ghostwriter, I receive your story idea at any stage of development and transform it into a completed work of art—to be authored under your name. I do the work. You reap the spoils. A published author with over a decade of professional experience, I’ve ghostwritten numerous books and screenplays for a diverse range of clients that include best-selling authors, screenwriters, actors, filmmakers, CEOs, and tech entrepreneurs. I’ve worked both as a freelancer and as a contractor for agencies in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with a number of my authored titles being published through various presses and a number of scripts currently in production. The genres I write in are (mostly) comedy, drama, memoir, mystery, and science-fiction. However, I specialize in writing upmarket thrillers. What is an upmarket thriller? The ultimate genre, really. “Upmarket” is an industry term used to describe stories that contain elements of both commercial and literary fiction. Stories that take existing genre tropes and add to them deeper characterization, an elevated writing style, and penetrating questions about the human condition. A “thriller,” on the other hand, is a genre defined by its reliance on mystery, suspense, and an overall foreboding tone. Characters are duplicitous, expectations are subverted, and the line between good and evil is murky to non-existent. In other words, upmarket thrillers combine the best of both worlds. They use commercial tropes as the digestible framework with which to explore complex metaphysical themes. Simply put, whether a novel or screenplay, they are enigmatic stories well-told. Dark and exciting narratives that leave the audience with thought-provoking questions long after the final pages have been turned. And whether one of the many sub-genres—crime, action, legal, historical, spy, political—they are perhaps the most cinematic of all stories. No Country for Old Men, The Maltese Falcon, Gone Girl, The Silence of the Lambs, Casino Royale, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, A Clockwork Orange, The Talented Mr. Ripley—all are upmarket thrillers. Shows like True Detective, Breaking Bad, and Peaky Blinders would fit into the category as well. You can see now why I’ve made them my speciality. In terms of services, I offer the full gamut here on Upwork, from narrative consulting and editing existing works to creating whole stories from scratch. So whether you've a rough draft finished or merely a vague concept in your head, I’ll take your existing material and draft it into a compelling and professional narrative. Upmarket thriller or not. So are you ready to make your dream novel or screenplay a reality? Then reach out and let’s get started. I can’t wait to hear your story—and can’t wait for you to see it on the page! All the best, Charles

I was called down to Paramount off my very first spec script. At the time, Star Trek allowed 50 people a year to come to the William S. Hart building and pitch ideas. To earn that pitch, I beat thousands of other writers with my spec submission. I've been writing ever since. I give seminars at Universities and in Los Angeles for organizations like Colab. I've won pitching contests and excel at synopsis and loglines. I've also produced films for Netflix, Eone, Lionsgate, and MGM. I'm a writer at heart, though. Experienced writers know that writing is not a science, it's an art. You can't rely on structure. Structure is a guide. Structure will not elicit emotion from the audience. Your story needs to. In the few words above, you have everything you need to know about my experience level. Showrunners and Directors believe they can be writers because they've studied how to follow some "structure recipe". Structure is a science. Story is an art. Know the difference.
