Owner of Sungrazer Publishing, an imprint distributed by Two Rivers, an Ingram Content Group Brand, one of the largest suppliers of books in North America. Our company offers ghostwriting services, editing services, author consultations, book-to-film or TV adaptations, and publishing to the trade, which means that we publish your book both in stores and digitally. I'm also a professional screenwriter with over 20 years of experience, having had films produced by studios like Sony, Screen Gems, and TV networks like Lifetime. I have had dozens of screenplays optioned by most of the major studios and have worked as a script doctor for countless production companies. I still have many contacts in Hollywood and my focus now is on helping shop and set up projects from aspiring film and TV writers, as well as books published through my publishing company. You can check out my credits on IMDB under Albert Leon. Or I can send a link upon request. I look forward to a successful collaboration with you.

Imagine a traffic sign on your website, blog, or novel. "CAUTION: prose with potholes dead ahead." If you need punched-up prose, I can help. I’m a freelance writer whose primary focus is on content with a humorous touch. This includes fiction, copywriting and blogging services. My nonfiction and fiction have appeared in print and online. My novel “Past is Present” won two 2016 Killer Nashville International Writers’ Conference Judges' Choice Awards for Best Comedy Thriller and Best Time Travel Thriller. With ample imagination, any message or story can be streamlined and spit-shined. Connect seemingly disparate ideas, images and things with bull's-eye accuracy. Embellish the content with a light or offbeat touch, similar to seriocomic books or movies. Give the heave-ho to the ho-hum. After all, life is challenging yet filled with laughter. Use it. Clamp jumper cables onto your content. Put some bite in the bytes of your website. Make the text tight and bright like starlight in the night, right? Curious? Get in touch. Tell me what you have in mind. I often prefer flat rate to hourly, depending on the project. If we’re in sync, we can go from there.

Screenwriting | Content Writing | True Crime | VO Scriptwriting Since March 2020, I've built a robust freelancing career, specializing in True Crime, Caught on Camera, and Police Body Cam/Dashcam Videos for YouTube. Currently, I am the lead writer for Underworld (1.9 Million subs) & Most Dangerous (500k+ subs). I also write for CrimeHub, a True Crime podcast on Spotify, and spent most of 2023/2024 working with True Crime Recaps on YouTube. I am also a produced screenwriter! My first feature — "Bonding" — starring Jefferson White, Alexandra Doke, and David Nordstrand, is set to release in 2026. All of my work is 100% original. I WILL NEVER use A.I. to write anything. However, I leverage Grammarly Pro for editing and Speechify for readback. I'm a HUGE stickler for active vs. passive voice. In my opinion, passive tones are the bane of all good writing. Please explore my profile further to learn more about me! I'm also happy to send samples upon request, from produced YouTube scripts to short screenplays and feature-length films!

I'm a full-time writer with experience across a variety of genres and disciplines. I've worked with movie stars and first-time producers, CEOs and YouTubers, and many, many others to help bring their ideas to life. Whether you've got a great premise for a movie, a book, or a comic, I've worked in genres ranging from action to sci-fi to comedy and more. Have a project in the non-fiction space? I've worked there, too. If there's something unique and exciting about it, I'd love to talk. At the end of the day, my goal is always the same -- to collaborate with others to get to the best version possible. If I take on a job, you can expect me to deliver. If we set a deadline, you can count on me to meet it. My first movie, AFTERMATH, is an action/thriller starring Dylan Sprouse, Mason Gooding, and Dichen Lachman. Directed by Patrick Lussier and produced by Voltage Pictures, it will be out in late 2024. I have a number of other movies in development. In addition to my screenplays, I'm a published short story author and my graphic novel, MALICE & MISTLETOE, was a co-creation with artist Jack Purcell, of DC and Marvel fame. My background, which heavily influences my writing, spans a range from Evangelical Christianity to punk rock and skepticism. I studied physics in college, then dropped out to become a filmmaker, only to stumble upon a decade-plus career as a commercial banker. I've lived a lot of the spectrum that is America and I like to explore its meaning, nuance, and conflict in high-concept stories. When I'm not writing or scheming to get things made, I'm either spending time with my family or running in the mountains near our home in Massachusetts.
