Things I Can Do For You

If you already know what you want to ask me about, jump down to the bottom of this page and fill in the contact form.

1) Write. Screenplays, books, and almost anything else. I tend toward comedy and the creative arts, but have written about/for small business and social media usage for several national trade magazines.

2) Create/Shape Ideas. Here’s a semi-arrogant and vague statement: I’m great to talk to. I’m well-read, tuned in to pop culture and technology trends, and see things from a lot of different angles. I have a knack for trouble-shooting, picking apart, and focusing others’ ideas. I do this in the context of one-time conversations, for specific project development, and also have several people who keep me on retainer.

3) Social Media Plans. I specialize much more on the side of community building than “how to move x number of widgets by Tuesday”. If you need to move product via social by Tuesday, it’s too late. Social is not a gimmick, but a long-term play, and I’ll force you to understand this if we work together.

4) Online Presence Management. I enjoy branding, I’m good at figuring out how people, products, and businesses should present themselves, and I’m hyper-organized. Writers and filmmakers, I especially want to help you.

5) Produce. I can help put together your web series, feature film, or video series of any kind, from concept honing and presentation, to fund-raising/business plans, to the actual physical production.

6) Do Things. Here’s some more vagueness, and it ties in to #2 above: I’m generally capable of things. I’ve created more jobs for myself than I’ve gone for. Many times I end up in conversations about someone’s project or idea and some form of “hey, what if I did this for you” comes from me or “hey, would you be able to do this” comes from them.

WHAT I CHARGE
This depends on any number of factors. I prefer we figure out how we’re going to function and what we need to get done, and then I’ll quote you a price. I try to give you a flat project rate rather than any sort of hourly thing, simply because that’s easiest for everyone.

IF YOU’RE GETTING IN TOUCH ABOUT SCREENPLAYS/BOOKS/FILMS
I don’t lack for story ideas, or ideas in general. In addition to doing things for other people, I have an endless list of my own stuff I want to tackle.

If you’re asking me to cowrite something, or produce something, or to partner with you on something, it should have an element attached beyond the idea itself. This usually means it’s funded already or has something that gives it a chance to have a notable return-on-time-investment that I can’t bring to the table myself.

Basically, don’t send me an email that says, “I have an idea for a movie – do you want to write it with me?”
