As a published author and top rated plus freelancer, I have over ten years of experience in editing, from basic proofreading and copy editing to deep line edits and developmental commentary. I have written ten novels across a wide range of genres, multiple screenplays, and am currently the lead writer for a dark fantasy comic. Readers consistently praise my writing for the nuanced, realistic characters, quick dialogue, and exciting action, all of which I bring to my line editing projects. Line editing is my passion, although I am available for creative writing when it comes to screenplays and video games.

Hi. Thanks for stopping by. I'm passionate about writing and storytelling. I'm a life-long student of the craft and have worked as a professional screenwriter in Hollywood for twenty years. I'm also everyone's go-to copywriter -- whether you need a website, blog, email, speech, ad copy or landing page, I've done it all. I have a warm, friendly tone that puts people at ease and invites them to keep reading. If you have a specific project, I'd love to hear about it. I believe words have super powers and I'd love to write yours. I'm new to Upwork, but I'm not new to writing. Please reach out if you think we're a good fit.

I am an award-winning screenwriter, script consultant and script doctor. I work with producers and writers to edit, sharpen and rewrite pilot scripts and screenplays. My experience ranges from co-creating and serving as Head Writer for series at Nickelodeon and MTV to serving as Creative Consultant on a Sundance competition documentary to teaching beginning and advanced screenwriting at the university level. I have also written and produced award-winning spots for Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite and other cable networks (2 Clio Awards, 11 nominations.) I specialize in Story Structure and working with writers to bring their stories to life in ways that connect deeply with audiences. While most of my work as a writer and script doctor is for production companies and creatives in Los Angeles and New York, I am based in Minneapolis. I came here to direct a feature film I wrote and have stayed to participate in a vibrant creative community -- and raise a family. I consider myself tri-coastal.

I'm a Film Director & Comic Book Writer who specializes in humor, horror & crime genres. In 2020, I produced/directed/wrote my debut feature film The Gents. In 2021, I wrote two Graphic Novels: A Revolution Most Fowl (writer) & Mushroom Vision (writer & illustrator). In 2023, I finished my second feature film which was a horror comedy call 'Hell Bunny' which was picked up for distribution. My latest feature 'Don't Open the Box' also was just picked up by distribution. If you need a director or someone to write a script for a movie or comic, I'm your guy!
