Do you have a thousand and one ideas for a feature film or television series? Have you tried writing your screenplay only to stare at a blank page for hours? Stuck on writing scene sequences, dialogue, fast-paced action, heightened tension, suspense, characters and plot? Do you need a multiple award-winning American author and story development specialist to create professional film treatments, TV series bibles, or detailed scene outlines? A Script Doctor to punch up and polish your existing script? Or even a Story Development Consultation to analyze your project’s potential? Then you need your very own Scheherazade to transform your creative vision into cinematic gold. If so, I’m your girl. I transform clients' stories into industry-standard feature film screenplays, TV pilots, and episodic scripts that stand out in the marketplace. Offering US and international clients bespoke writing services, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience that enhances script structure, pacing, narrative arcs, dialogue, character and plot development. I transitioned to screenwriting more than a decade ago during the Cannes Film Festival, when a French production company hired me to write screenplays for English-language feature films and TV series due to my bilingual skillset (Native English/ Fluent French). Their head of script development was the former President of Physical and Post Production at Universal Studios, with more than 120 films to her credit, including Schindler's List, Casino, Jurassic Park, Babe, Terminator, Back to the Future, and Apollo 13. Allowing me to hone my screenwriting skills while working alongside a legendary industry pro on their slate of film and television projects. I've written feature films and TV series for studios, production companies, Indie filmmakers, directors, actors, and boutique clients ranging from book-to-screen adaptations to true-life fictionalized dramas. YA, superhero, romance, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy, supernatural, horror, musical, and dance-themed productions, LGBTQ+, Urban, and Latino dramas. Writing and Story Development Services: • Screenwriting for feature films or television series • Screen adaptation of books, novels, or other source material • TV series bibles, film treatments, scene-by-scene outlines • Dialogue, plot, and character development • Story development consults, script analysis, script formatting in Final Draft, rewrites, and editing • Multilingual: Native English; Fluent French; Conversational Italian Whether it's a few ideas jotted down or a spark still in your imagination, an existing script, scene outline, treatment, or book, I listen closely. I care about your success and getting your vision right. And I deliver. Let's talk. Or book a consultation to get started. Melissa R ( alias Scheherazade ) I write original content that is 100% a product of my human intellect and creative expression that aligns with the US Copyright Office criteria for Intellectual Property Rights registration.

Creative Strategist / Influencer & Ugc Creator Manager with a passion for storytelling and digital growth! With a background in French and English language and literature, I specialize in building impactful digital strategies and crafting content that connects, converts, and elevates brands online. I actually got my start in the digital space as a content creator, which sparked my passion for authentic, performance-driven content. Over time, I transitioned into more strategic roles where I now manage every aspect of UGC campaigns: from sourcing and coordinating with creators, to writing high-converting scripts, and collaborating with editors and media buyers to optimize performance. I’ve also worked as a Creative Strategist for a European UGC agency, where I gained hands-on experience in outreach, creator partnerships, and campaign direction. I love creating content that feels native, engaging, and aligned with brand values, especially when it empowers real stories and real people. While I still enjoy creating UGC myself from time to time, my main focus today is helping brands leverage creator content strategically to drive results. Let’s connect and bring your next UGC campaign to life! :)
