As you many of you know, Hollywood has very strict standards when it comes to screenwriting. Where do these standards come from? They come from genres that have been tried and tested for many decades which guarantees the Hollywood Industry that a general audiences will react favorably to movies that follow the specific rules of these money making genres. But how can you be sure that your movie has what it takes to satisfy these audiences and producers who will be responsible for getting your story made? Simple. You start by hiring a formal educated screenwriter who not only has an MFA with Honors in Screenwriting from the highest rated film school in the country, but who also has 20 years of solid screenwriting experience in most of these proven genres.

In addition to having written over twenty screenplays in all genres and scripts in development, I also offer something that most other screenwriters do not -- I am an extremely fast writer. Most screenwriters take up to six months to a year to complete a polished screenplay. The reason for this is that they rely on the characters to tell the story instead of knowing the complete structure and genre before they start writing. This is why I developed a very new method of making sure all my clients avoid wasting time and money on fixing problems in screenplays once they are already completed. This process is called my Story Development Service which outlines in detail each scene of the complete story before the screenwriting process begins. This ensures that all my clients receive a highly polished marketable screenplay which includes everything that is expected by Industry professionals in terms of the genre, theme, structure and character arcs once the first draft of the screenplay completed. Why waste time hiring writers who may often run into structural problems after the screenplay is completed and find that they have missed various sub-plots, plot points-- which often result in less memorable characters and dialogue while thinking that the characters themselves will tell them how to structure and end the story. This is the sign of an unprofessional and untrained screenwriter.

In most cases, I can complete a first draft of a highly polished screenplay within four to six weeks, simply because I base my outline through the Story Development Process which ensures that the first draft of your screenplay has exactly what producers and agents expect to find on page 3, 15, 25 and every twenty pages thereafter -- in terms genre, theme, plot points and plot twists, compelling character arcs, and rock-solid structure. If Producers and Agents do not find these elements in a script by page 10, they will simply toss the script into the trash and go onto the next story. Why? Because they know they are not dealing with a professional screenwriter.

Do not let your story fall into this category. You deserve the very best, and you will find exactly that through my screenwriting knowledge. As many of my repeat clients can testify my screenwriting experience has brought their stories to their fullest marketing potential in the smallest amount of time with maximum return for their initial investment. I look forward to hearing about your story.
