Carlton was amazing to work with. I dumped a lot of lore and a rather large manuscript in his hands and working with him so far has been a pleasure. I cannot wait to work with him again.

OMG!!!!!! WOW! I am so impressed! He took my pilot and shortened it and it still captured everything that needed to be captured. My cheeks are literally hurting from laughing so hard. Thank you so much!

So I gave him the idea and vision of a 15min short I would like to produce, and it was beyond my vision and quality. I have to say he exceeded my expectation which is hard to do. THANK YOU, CARLTON!!!!

Working with Carlton was bliss. No one has ever replied to my messages that fast. He understood the subject and he was very flexible to adapt to any given changes in the subject. I wish more professionals were like him. I definitely recommend him for his creative writing and I would love to work with him again sometime soon!

Very professional. I have a 20 year background in the Animation industry working in the Storyboard department for all the big names. Now as an independent creator I am used to top tier talent but finding that on a budget can be tricky. I stumbled across Carlton and did some digging on him. It seemed too good to be true but here he is offering you top tier work for amazingly unbeatable value. If you are serious about your project then do yourself and your project a favor - get in touch with Carlton and get the goods! Thank you!

Terrfic work. This was not an easy project and he has created a wonderful Treatment note. He understands the brief well and it is very evident that he is an experienced writer. Looking forward to working with this Carlton more often.

Carlton Holder gave me a great new start to a cinematic universe I've been working on alone for so many years, and the help I need to continue it. He's also very knowledgable about filmmaking in general, and fun to talk to. Highly recommend.

I'm incredibly grateful to Carlton, who brings my stories to life! His skillful writing captures the essence of my vision, and I couldn't be happier with the result. Thank you, Carlton (again) for your invaluable contribution!

My fight scene was written by a consummate Hollywood professional. I am so pleased! I gave Carlton my simple brief and he followed it to a tee, far exceeding my wildest expectations. Let's put it this way, what Carlton wrote in a few hours would have taken me days and the end product would have been pretty shoddy when matched up against his whiz-kid imagery. Carlton not only knows how to present his scenes, he delivered a forward-propelling narrative that consumes all your senses and makes you yearn for more.. and more drama.

Carlton was easy to work with as I sent him an update that could have delayed the final product but didn't. (my fault). The script treatment I received was well written and very professional. A true and concise representation of my work.

A wonderful job. The screenplay I received was absolutely feature film quality and is completely bankable. Thank you so much for your contributions.

Carlton is the consummate professional. He is polite and self-directed. He doesn't make you do a lot of work so he can do his work, a huge plus. He is worth every penny and more. His screenplay style is as good as the best.

The delivered work proves why the seller comes highly recommended. Not everyone, not every writer, can write a good synopsis. As a screenwriter, I know how difficult it can be to write a synopsis. The work he just delivered is perfect! "So, who you gonna call?" This guy!

Carlton went above and beyond in delivery ensuring that all of my requirements were met on time and within budget. Edits were made smoothly and within one day of my sending feedback. I will most certainly be using Carlton's screenwriting expertise in the coming future!

He’s not just an exceptional writer, he’s an excellent story teller. He was able to take my current project and make it come to life. I didn’t know how average my story was until he rewrote it. Somehow he was able to keep my style and tone of writing while added his experience of writing to make the story awesome. I’m thrilled I found him.

Carlton is deeply skilled in his craft, with an encyclopedic understanding of television and film writing that is both wide and deep! I really appreciated working with him, and he quickly took some suggestions into account to produce a real product I can stand behind! It would be a mistake to overlook his gifts if you are in the market for screenwriting.

Simply awesome. This is my second project and working on the third one now. That says it all I think.

Carlton is absolutely brilliant. He understood exactly what I was looking for and explained the industry to me in a way I could easily comprehend. Then he took the concept of a trilogy, with each novel topping 400 pages, and wrote a short script that I believe will open doors for me.

Carlton's treatment was exactly what I was looking for. He brought my ideas to life in a professional and courtesy manner. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to bring their ideas to life!

It was very easy working with this writer. He delivered on what we had asked of him. Even with additional information that we had wanted to add to our request, he used or applied it in a satisfactory way. His ideas, opened us to some ideas that we may not have come up with on our own, angles that we wouldn't have thought of. He brought in a fresh perspective to what we were looking for. We were left quite satisfied. Looking forward to doing some more work with him in the future.
