    My name is Donna Mae. I have a BA in Screenwriting with 11 years of experience with the written word. My work ranges from creative to technical with a focus on precise storytelling for your audience. I have written... ...blogs for small-business owners. ...video and podcast content for Discovery Channel. ...technical e-mails for YouTube, Google, Facebook, and Twitter. ...coverage for scripts at NBCUniversal and Cinequest Film Festival. ...screenplays that have screened at film festivals across the nation. Kind Words-- "I’ve admired Donna’s scripts for years, and have long envied her agility as a writer. Her characters are funny, melancholy, and vital. When I wanted to create a script for my next film, I reached out to her to craft and complete the first couple of drafts. We worked together on my story, and she made sure I had a script in a fraction of the time it would take me on my own. Now that I have it in hand and can mold to my voice, Donna has worked as a coach and editor to get me through the final stages. I probably would have let the project wallow, if not for Donna’s skill, support, and kindness. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any project you want to develop." - Tony Jonick (Kingfisher Talking Pictures) "Donna Mae's impressive skill and talent is the conceiving of and the writing of sharp and compelling stories for the screen. She has a baked-in talent for it. I've seen it firsthand. I'd venture to say that she has the chops for whatever you're looking for, as well as, and the stream of consciousness to get it done quickly and creatively. I've optioned two of her script and produced one, "Happy Goat." That's the ultimate praise I can give her, is it not? I highly recommend her." - Leo Maselli (UVA Films) If you're interested in working with me, let's chat!

With me you’re getting the best and more importantly you’re getting a great ROI. Speedy Turnarounds. ——————————- WHY YOU NEED ME: Life is hard. Life is busy. Life is hectic.

The product that will make the splash, you just don't know how to spread the word. Let me help you out. Let me sell your idea and bring it to life. Tell your story. Published Author and Staff Writer for A-list websites. +15 Years Experience. Writer, Content Manager, Team Builder, Project Manager, Marketing Wiz. Clearscope Pro membership. Proficient in Readability (Hemingway App) as well as Clearscope AI for SEO Optimization.

Reach out to discuss any project or assignment. Interested in both short and long term opportunities. ------------------------ Published novelist with a degree in Cinematography, scriptwriting, and a minor in Marketing with over 10 years of experience in the field. I've published over 6 novels to date and have been the primary and in many cases the troubleshooter on numerous periodicals; wearing many hats aside from Freelance Content Writer, and Senior Copywriter. I’ve set the bar and tone of many projects and my contributions have lead to brand identity of several start-ups; my rules, voice, and style pivotal to identify how content was going to be written and presented from that point forward. Professional script-doctor, screenwriter, Social Media Manager, SEO certified and proficient in keyword research, full-time journalist, and content editor. I've worked for over 50 different clients on an international scale and have an in-depth knowledge of the entertainment industry, the economic minefield, and the Political mind game the world seems embroiled in. I'm well-versed in all the trappings and goings - and general mayhem - of a bullpen, digital or in-situ. I've juggled the rigors of deadlines, grumpy clients, and interpersonal dynamics and never once dropped the proverbial ball. No topic to great, no literary swamp to murky to sludge through. I've tackled everything. My writing process: Client Meeting/Spitballing session – Research – First Draft - Quality Assurance - Second/Final Draft. All completed projects are subjected to tests for plagiarism, grammar, spelling, and readability These are some of the praises I've received: "What a unique voice! Gomez wrote a book that was full of perspective and a joy to read..." "Awesome writing skills. This freelancer handled a difficult topic with ease. He is a good communicator and responds to suggestions and ideas well - but has heaps of his own as well. " "I had an emergency and a deadline with a client. In less than 20 minutes, Luis wrote an excellent article. Full of facts, figures, a couple of jokes, and impressive for the short amount of time. " "A prompt, thorough and an excellent writer. Every piece we commission from Luis is a hit! Will continue working with him so long as he's willing to write." "What a great writer! Was contracted to do a fun piece on fighting writing distractions and his piece was exceptional. Will work with again!" Here are some of my bonafide: I'm a writer for the likes of Liquor, Cracked, Men's Health, Daring Penguin, The AI Foundation, One Living Circle, The Buenos Aires Herald, Ivy League, AI Foundation, SCTours and the National Australian Hockey League, The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, etc. My books, "Pufferfish Vendetta", "Little Dark Girl" and "Disposable Chum" have been featured on the various bestsellers list. Aside from a novelist and fiction writer, I’m overall a lifestyle writer and political commentator, not only in magazine form but as a ghostwriter and audiovisual creator. You can find some of my books in that niche under the pen name: Andrew King, Max Longstone, L.J.Gomez and Tracey Queen.

    I'm a screenwriter, article writer, script reader and video game writer who has a deep love for the art and structure of storytelling. Storytelling has been my passion my entire life. The catharsis of artistic writing is what drives me to work hard, uphold high standards for my work, and use my formal education to make every project I am a part of the best it can be. My job as the lead screenwriter of a non-profit film organization, Project AWARE, has taught me immensely about the process of independent filmmaking and has given me a great appreciation for the types of scripts produced within that realm. I've written ten features and around thirty short films, two of which have been aired on The CW. I've had ten shorts produced, including three films for the United States Government. I've written for multiple websites, including TIME, Upworthy, TheThings, and Psychology Today. I have an intense love of writing for video games, with a lot of experience in that realm. The power of good story in video games can entirely shape the world and immerse the players as much as possible. There's nothing better than taking people on a journey away from their everyday life, and I love doing that whenever possible. My BFA in Screenwriting, where I was educated by world-renowned storytellers, has given me a formal knowledge of how to make stories the most engaging and exciting they can be. I would love to work with you to make your story, article, or script the absolute best it can be. My goal is to work as hard as possible to put cathartic, phenomenal art into the world, and I'd love to do that any way I can.

    How do you get viewers to watch your videos till the end? Or at least get them to watch 70% of your videos? A lot of channels with thousands of subscribers fail to get their viewers to watch a large part of their videos. Why? Because their scripts don't tell engaging stories, neither are they well structured. One of the channels I have worked with in the past is a rap channel that had about 10k subscribers when I joined. But most of these viewers don't even watch about 30% of the videos before switching to another channel. So, I ensured that my scripts had better hooks or intros, and employed a conversational tone for the scripts as well. Attaching a question about the video's topic as the pinned comment also helps to stimulate a conversation and keep the audience engaged with the channel. All of these earned the channel its first 1 million views and within four months we had moved from 10k subscribers to over 51,000 subscribers. I have worked with a wild animal channel, a history channel, an NBA channel, a pet channel, and also a crime channel. I have the experience to write in any niche your channel specializes in. With me on your team, your scripts will have the right hook to capture your audience's attention and the right amount of humor to keep them watching till the end. However, I have noticed that retaining your audience requires going beyond the generic hook, body/content, and Call To Action. And I will do just that. As your scriptwriter I wouldn't just be writing scripts for your channel, I would also suggest ways we can make the videos better and make your channel grow. Send me a message about your channel/project and let's work together to achieve your channel's goals.

    I am an award-winning screenwriter and creative writer. My greatest strength is my imagination. I excel in writing warm, heartfelt stories that appeal to children and adults. I am particularly skilled in children's story writing having been a teaching assistant in my early 20s. Originally from the UK, I have a natural command of the English Language. However, I have traveled to many different countries and like to take inspiration from the different cultures and traditions I have experienced. I have worked for large Hollywood production companies, The Pleasance Theatre, The New Wolsey Theatre, BBC sounds, and a wide range of individuals. I have supported private clients in creative writing and have been a screenwriting lecturer at a film school in Beijing. You can read/listen to some of my work on Amazon, BBC radio uploads, and Potluck Zine. Education: BA: Acting and Contemporary Theatre - East 15 Acting School - London Foundation: Screenwriting - Raindance Film School - London

    Well, I started out writing youtube scripts on Upwork 3 years ago, and so far am now among the Top-Rated Freelancers on Upwork that are specializing in YouTube content creation. I not only write engaging and interesting scripts, but I will also Edit your video, and if you don't have a Voice over, according to the type of niche you are in, I will refer you to one. ** Scripting ** Writing scripts for 3 years just on Upwork is not a joke. I have been doing this professionally. So, I understand what works and what doesn't. There is no need to pay me for a script I know very well won't grab attention on YouTube. This is one of the reasons you need to choose me. I don't just play as a Freelancer; you get a partner. Someone who knows and understands his work. One who writes interesting, engaging, and plagiarism-free scripts. A script that builds up suspense and is creative. And by the way, I have all the premium tools a writer should have, a premium Grammarly account, as well as a premium Copyscape account. Be assured of quality! Moreover, you get someone who will advise you on the kind of topics you don't need to focus on, on YouTube. I will share some topics that will be of much help according to your niche. ** Video Editing ** When it comes to video editing, this is one of the important sections of a video. The script might be well-detailed and interesting, and the Voice might be stunning, but it's all a waste if the video is poor. Moreover, if the editing has some copyrighted material, the same case, zero work. With my Youtube experience on the copyright policy as well as the YouTube terms of use, be rest assured you will get not only a professional video but also a video that hooks and grabs the viewer's attention. A video that no one would skip to watch later. They might probably rewatch it. I mean WHY not? Something catchy and fun to watch.

    I am a young writer with over four years of experience in creative writing, proofreading, and editing in a private capacity. During this period, I learned to use the old art of writing to produce solutions for people seeking words to transform their ideas into reality or positively position their businesses. I am most comfortable writing articles, short stories, and scripts. Through working for clients online and offline, I have grounded my ability to skillfully execute complex projects while prioritizing customer satisfaction with diligent research and creative compositions. A lifetime of fascination with stories and the words that make them has burnished my ability to create writings in unpopular fashions that leave lasting impressions on anyone who comes across them. Why Do I Write? Every word is essential to me; if I'm honest, words are all I have. Words are the ingredients that realize my imagination. They are my only tools. I have a sense of humor—people say so—that also likes to show up in my works, and my writing covers a range of disciplines and interests requiring either fictional or non-fictional applications. I can employ my expertise to improve your business and help you tell an old story with fresh, intriguing insights. If you need help designing a concept for your brand, and the words won't budge, or you want to flesh out an idea that seems stuck in its conceptual mold, contact me; let's find a solution for you. I'm the team lead of King Homes Charity's Content Creation Department, where I contribute my quota to managing a team of creatives devoted to the service of humanity. I post articles on Medium at Ishola Quwam, and I also blog at Akowekowura.wordpress.com.

    I am a very versatile, creative writer. In my most recent Upwork projects, I have written an elopement ceremony, turned patient testimonials into short stories, written the script for an animated nutrition video, the pilot for a proposed on-line comedy series, punch lines for a one panel comic series, synopses for a movie database, songs, poems and two different adult card games that involved writing a series of true or false statements and dare-type tasks. I have also recently done a transcription job and have written slogans for a T-shirt company and much, much more. While I specialize in comedy writing, I am very flexible and can adapt my writing style to almost any assignment. I write intelligent and compelling content with a very quick turnaround time.

How to Hire Top Screenwriters

What is a screenwriter?

Every scripted motion picture and television show, whether a comedy or a drama, requires the services of a screenwriter. A screenwriter is responsible for writing the script that actors rely on when voicing their character.

How do you hire a screenwriter?

You can source screenwriters on Upwork by following these three steps:

  1. Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a screenwriter.
  2. Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  3. Shortlist and interview screenwriters. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of screenwriter you need to complete your project. 

How much does it cost to hire a screenwriter?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions. Learn about the cost to hire a screenwriter.

How do you write a screenwriter job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample screenwriter job post titles:

  • Screenwriter needed for independent film
  • Need screenwriter to take outline and transform into script for TV pilot
  • Film script needs freshening up by screenwriter with excellent editing skills

Project description

An effective screenwriter job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From writing an original script to improving an existing treatment, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain media, tones, or genres, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Screenwriter job responsibilities

Here are some examples of screenwriter job responsibilities:

  • Punch up existing film script to add more humor
  • Develop script for corporate video about sexual harassment in the workplace
  • Edit script to improve story flow and scene continuity

Screenwriter job requirements and qualifications

Be sure to include any requirements and qualifications you’re looking for in a screenwriter. Here are some examples:

  • Experience editing scripts for major Hollywood television productions
  • Film school degree with focus on script writing and editing
  • Filmography illustrating implementation of your scripts
