Bio

I have been a working screenwriter, script doctor, ghost writer, and producer in the entertainment industry for almost 20 years.

I have written for major studios, such as Universal, Warner Bros. and Marvel, as well as on lower-budget independent projects. My work has been featured on the "Black List" of best screenplays, as voted on by a selected pool of film executives, and has attracted A-List talent.

I have been a working screenwriter, script doctor, ghost writer, and producer in the entertainment industry for almost 20 years.

I have written for major studios, such as Universal, Warner Bros. and Marvel, as well as on lower-budget independent projects. My work has been featured on the "Black List" of best screenplays, as voted on by a selected pool of film executives, and has attracted A-List talent. Prior to beginning my career, I received a BA from Boston University, with a major in Film and a minor in Creative Writing.

My career has involved working closely with others, be they producers, co-writers, or those I've been hired to rewrite, helping them turn a piece of material into the best version of itself. I've also guided numerous aspiring writers through the process of creative development: molding a concept into an outline, then into a treatment, and, finally, into a fully-realized screenplay, which can then be polished into something salable.

My specialties go beyond the writing and editing of screenplays. I also have years worth of experience pitching my work to studios and financiers, and an expert grasp of what material is selling and how to go about selling it. I have also taken on various editing jobs over the years, proofreading everything from essays to stories and novels.

I have spent plenty of time working one-on-one with less experienced writers, both in-person and online, as well as participating in writer's rooms and leading groups.

I have been a working screenwriter, script doctor, and producer in the entertainment business for 15+ years. I have written for numerous major studios, including Universal, Warner Bros., and Marvel, as well as on various independent productions. I have experience developing material alongside A-List producers and talent, as well as pitching and selling projects to executives and financiers. My work has received several awards, as well as a spot on the yearly "Black List" of best screenplays. I specialize in tutoring aspiring filmmakers in the art of structure and storytelling, developing their creative vision into a finished product, and then shaping that product into something that could sell in the current marketplace.
