Donegal Faire Productions
About
NOTE: PLEASE, be serious in wanting to speak with me further since I AM CHARGED BY THUMBTACK to reply to your message. ALSO...I want to help those make their dreams come true of accomplishing the completion of their piece (book, screenplay, adaptation, etc.), but, this ISN'T an INEXPENSIVE OR SHORT TERM PROJECT you're taking on so please, BE PREPARED for the TIME and EXPENSE it will take to accomplish this.
I am a member of the WGA and a published writer of short stories and poetry and a screenplay writer with scripts spanning genres of drama, live action- animation, psychological thriller, romantic-comedy, horror and a coming-of-age script that resides at Disney. And recently, I have finished the work on the first two books in a series of children's books for a much more enticing and interesting way for children to learn geography and language.
To help someone with their writing, I feel it is imperative that I be the gentle taskmaster, both as writer and editor, that brings about that perfect pairing of the creative and the rational. The essential twosome in reaching the reader with not only our hearts and imagination, but with the precision that will take that reader away to whatever "world" is presented on the page.

She asked for $4/page. I sent her 25 pages. No money has been exchanged and the edit is not finished. She seemed very pleasant on the phone.

Donegal helped me turn my story into a screenplay. Jo took my very rough draft, and put it into a semblance of order. Jo Jeane also taught me quite a lot about telling a story. My writing is now focused and more efficient. I hope to work with her again. She is also personable, understanding and “right on target.” She is also considerate and knowledgeable.
Thanks Jo

Ms. Rapier helped me immeasurably with the editing of first, my novel and then with the adaptation of its screenplay. Even with the experience I have as a writer, it was her help that made it successful in creating the quality of work I needed to present to publishing houses and producers. Ms. Rapier
applied her exceptional talents to the project and the results were outstanding.

I’m not a beginner, but not an advanced screenwriter either, so
working with Jo brought me a new level of understanding about
what it means to be a real writer.
Not only did she help with character development and dialogue,
but in formatting and breakdown as well. And what a pleasure to
work with. I’ll be returning to work with Jo in the future and
looking forward to see my work become more than I had ever
hoped for. Thanks, Jo!

I worked with Jo Jeanne on a rewrite of a script that was in trouble - never an easy thing to do. We did an entire tear down and restructure, the goal being to flush out the story and characters while sticking to the bones of the script. Jo was always there with solid ideas about story direction and character enchancement. She geniunl;y liked the story and the characters and was always, always thinking and creating with one goal in mind: to make the script the best it could be, which I believe she did, and for that I thank her. If you have a chance to work with Jo, grab it. You will never regret a moment of your time with her and the work she will create for you.
