Screenwriter is needed in Tucson, United States.

I am looking for a Biography Screenwriter to help adapt a detailed biographical book about William Harding Jackson (1901-1971), a key figure in the founding of the US intelligence community and a former deputy director of the CIA and national security adviser to President Eisenhower. The project involves transforming a well-researched, narrative-driven biography—based in part on original Wikipedia content and other published works—into a screenplay similar in style to ‘The Company’ by Robert Littell. I have invested many years researching and writing this story and am now seeking a skilled writer who can work with the material, potentially for the long term, as I plan to publish additional related works. The work location is flexible within a hybrid arrangement and experience in adapting true stories for the screen is important.

Budget range:
Large project ($3,000 – 5,000 USD)
