About

My name is Eli and I love to write. In my thirteen years in the entertainment industry so far, I’ve worked on both sides of the table - as writer/producer and development executive, in addition to my non-profit projects with the Writers Guild Foundation and elsewhere.

Most recently, I wrapped work as Director of Development for Tony McNamara (THE GREAT, POOR THINGS) at his POD at 20th TV, called Piggy Ate Roast Beef Productions. Before that, I wrote and produced for all three seasons of the Freeform/Hulu drama MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM. I’m now primarily focused on my feature film development but I am open to additional work.

If you're interested in hiring me to write something new or engaging me in creative development services, please reach out (email below) and we can talk at your convenience.

My tools of the trade include:

  • Screenwriting: pitch materials, outlines, treatments

  • Television: decks, pitches, treatments, scripts

  • Development Services: detailed notes, coverage, edits

  • Fiction: flash, short, comics, novella & anything in between

  • Nonfiction: video essays, podcasts, articles

  • Ghostwriting

Thanks so much for your visit.
