About David

After living in Istanbul, Turkey for four years, I have moved back to my home in the East Bay, CA. I have a portfolio consisting of screenplays, novels, and songs. My work has appeared in the Top 20 European Billboard charts and has been nominated for several screenwriting awards including Best Screenplay and Best Character (Oaxaca Film Fest). I have also been nominated for "Best Screenplay" as an "Official Selection" of the Beverly Hills Film Festival.

Recently, a novel I edited won the Grand Prize in the New Zealand National New Novel Awards.

I have been working as a freelance script doctor/developmental editor for the past couple of years. I have ghostwritten a dozen screenplay for clients, and have edited/polished dozens more.
