Lori W. - 15933 Teleplay Writer - Screenwriter from Regina

A Canadian-American writer, Lori has developed her talents through 10 years of experience and 3 university degrees—a Master of Arts (MA) in Film Studies, a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing, and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in English. From the big picture to the smallest details, Lori loves making magic happen on the page. Versed in story development and Hero’s Journey, she specializes in character-driven stories and writes feature-length screenplay packages including 1-Sheet Synopsis, Character List, Beat Sheet, Treatment, and Feature-Length Screenplay. She handles all interviews, research, development, writing and editing, and delivers polished boxed packages with hard copy and electronic files. Working at a high level of proficiency, Lori applies the same talents to any writing, marketing, or communications role. Over the past decade, she has worked as a screenwriter, story consultant, content writer, copywriter, blog writer, editor, and proofreader for a variety of clients including filmmakers, writers, doctors, attorneys, publishers, and marketing firms. She has also served as a judge for writing contests, provided critical analyses for literature and film, and worked in collaboration with other creatives. Dedicated to the art and craft of writing and to the creation and preservation of story, Lori sets the bar high and produces exceptional work. A published writer, Lori is the author of the novel Finding Fortune, a story for which she has also written the screenplay. Her life work concentrates on an eminent scientist targeted during the Red Scare, a story she has developed into a series of historic epistolary non-fiction from the logbooks and letters left to her by her grandfather, Donald S. Erdman. Most recently, Lori was contracted by a top U.S. attorney to write his life story as a feature screenplay. She completed that contract with delivery of the final draft package and is now looking for the next opportunity. “Besides working on my book manuscripts and screenplays, I provide a full range of writing and communications services. I create new content and take what you have to the next level. But I don’t just write. From concept to completion, I’m the one to create the vision and develop the story, whether that story is for a movie, a book, or a business. I’m all about story.”
