Hire the Best Screenwriters in California

I am an experienced screenwriter who has written for television and film. I also worked as a camera assistant for a television show and in my free time like to volunteer at my local theater.

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.

You need writing for your business that's concise, impeccably structured, and feels ALIVE. Above all, you want your audience fully engaged, ready to spend their time and their money on that special something that only YOU offer. Who better to turn to than a screenwriter? Sure, you may be thinking, that sounds like killer writing, but doesn't Hollywood just bleed money? What about killer results? Good question! How about a screenwriter who's also worked as Lead Copywriter for a major DTC Ad Agency managing millions of dollars in client ad spend and getting those killer results? Interested? Good. Because you just found your guy. With over a dozen years experience working in Hollywood, I've learned the ins and outs of compelling writing. And with the unique perspective of also crafting winning copy for a variety of successful brands, I've learned what translates to selling customers your product or service as well: emotional connection, captivating storytelling, and the power of exactly the right words in just the right place. So if you need copy - ads, content, VSLs, email, anything that requires you to choose your words wisely - hire me. And together, we can turn YOUR business into the next blockbuster hit.

You can get past that blinking cursor and the blank page with my help. I'm fast, reliable, and adapt to best tell your story the way you want it told. I can work as a ghostwriter, editor, or collaborate as a co-writer. Story craft, applied, can also be the difference in standing out in a college application. I've helped clients get into MIT, Harvard, Stanford, and more. I can work with you on putting your best version front and center. Based in Los Angeles, I specialize in screenwriting, getting people from Fade In to Fade Out, with industry-standard formatted screenplays. I've also assisted clients with plays and memoirs, from personal passion projects to working with major studios like Spyglass Media, Netflix, Lionsgate, Sony, and more. I previously earned an MFA from the UCLA film school. Since then, I taught and worked at programs with CalArts, Chapman, and UCLA, helping storytellers of all backgrounds, ages, and experiences.
