Hi!
I am a Produced Ghostwriter/Scriptdoctor with references and 97 scripts under my belt (comedies, sci-fi, dramas, sitcoms, action, thrillers, cartoons, features). And even though I am NOT in the WGA, I’ve sold or was hired to write 92 of those scripts of which over 35 have been made into movies and TV shows. A few even became TV series. I can write a killer script from scratch or fix one that’s not up to par. I was also ‘Head of Literary’ at a WGA signatory agency for 5 years after being a ‘Reader’ for 10. I know story, characterization, structure, format, plot, and sharp dialogue, in all genres like the back of my hand. Terms are negotiable depending on complexities of the story, and whether I get a credit or it’s a ghostwriting job. I’m very discreet (willing to accept a production credit instead). I’m fast, effective, and...cheap! And yes, I do sign non-disclosure agreements. If you have an idea for a story, I'm the guy to write it for you. Below is my resume (needs major updating) plus you can find me on IMDb by clicking the two links below. Call and I’ll have my agent messenger over a couple of samples or if you’d rather
Sincerely,
DAVE GIST
