    25 million TED and TEDx views. 65% selected as TEDx "Editor's Picks." Keynotes for events and conferences across industries. Delivered on 5 continents. Speeches I've coached and/or written are all of the above. Do you want to give a great speech or presentation? Do you feel overwhelmed because you have so much to say but don't know how to shape your talk? Let me help! I've been helping speakers for a few decades as a coach and speech writer/speechwriter. Do you want to become a better communicator but don't know how? Let's work together. I've taught public speaking and speechwriting to thousands of college students (for over 20 years) and have written keynotes for countless others, including CEOs of large companies. I served as a TEDx curator and speaker coach/writer for 10 years. I've worked with over 150 TEDx speakers as their coach or writer. 65% of my TEDx speakers have been selected as "Editor's Picks," only about 200 TEDx talks get this designation each year. A coach is a teacher who knows how to pull the best out of you. I've worked professionally as a speechwriter before getting my PhD in Rhetoric. I've studied the greatest communicators and I've learned how to pull the best out of people of all abilities and experience levels. When you put these three things together (speechwriter, coach, and academic study), I am a bit of a unicorn because I know what to do, why you need to do it, and how to make it happen. These are some ways I can help: -Speech writer (speechwriting): I've written keynotes for high performing individuals in the mental health, medical, startup, technology, sport, and finance spaces. In 2023 alone, I've written keynotes and TEDx Talks that have been delivered on five continents. Did you know that the best speechwriters know that there are many genres, just like in literature and movies? I write across all genres, including the genre of TED Talks. Speechwriting is a craft. It's never about me but helping you shape your talk with your passion, your expertise, and your stories. -Finding your voice: your voice is your superpower. Most of the time we don't recognize this because we are too focused on what we are saying and other people are thinking. I will help you identify your superpower and help you learn how to speak to your strengths. Some people have a voice that makes me curious, while others are contemplative, authoritative, or calming. We will work to find your speaking and leadership voices. -General presentation skills: how to structure your presentation for any situation and formats ranging from online to auditoriums. -Individual and small group communication: how to be a better listener and conversationalist in one-on-one and small group settings. We focus on active listening, types of questions, and impromptu speaking techniques. -Public speaking coach: I work with a wide variety of speakers across industries. From keynotes to company retreats, I will help you create meaningful and motivating talks. It has taken me over a decade to develop a speaker process that will take you step-by-step from idea formation to the stage. -Strategies for overcoming performance anxiety and stress. I've been lucky to have incredible clients who just want to be better communicators. And, yes, talks I've coached have over 25 million TEDx and TED views. I help people of all skill levels become exceptional communicators. I started using Upwork regularly in January to expand my client base. Because of this, most of my reviews are on LinkedIn. The reviews below can be found on my LinkedIn profile and Services page. Just find me on LinkedIn: Brian Requarth (Entrepreneur & Shark on Shark Tank Mexico): I had a few important speaking engagements last year and I came across Jeff online. I reached out and had a few great exchanges. We worked together on a TED style talk and he was super professional. I was so impressed in his ability to explain the process, write in my voice, think and communicate with such clarity. Aside from all of that he was just super easy to work with and I felt like he really cared about my success and dedicated the time to make me feel prepared in the process. I would recommend him without hesitation. Carri Borjara (VP of Marketing and Communications): Jeff was a thoughtful professional who quickly sized up our needs and provided incredible clarity and insights to improve our presentation. Looking for more opportunities to work with Jeff in the future! Jota Samper (Featured on TED.com) : Working with Jeff was wonderful. I was really stressed about the process and he broke it all into very manageable parts. We had many challenges along the way but Jeff was extremely supportive during all those events. Jeff keep pushing and promoting my work after all was finished and today y have millions of people who had listen to my work. I am forever grateful.

    Hi, I'm Connor! I'm a speech and copy writer with a knack for humor and creativity, dedicated to helping my clients find the right words to say. Today's audiences have tall expectations, and short attention spans. Whether it's a wedding speech or website copy, every word counts more than ever. My job is to help you navigate this challenge and tell your story in a way that resonates with your audience, keeps them engaged, and leaves them wanting more. To do this, I work directly alongside my clients to understand their wants, needs, and aspirations, as well as those of their audience, to deliver personalized & impactful messages. I pride myself on being a writer who's responsive to client needs, extremely timely & organized, and delivers nothing less than a perfect product, no exceptions. But don't take it from me, check out my client reviews and see for yourself. While I primarily specialize in writing speeches/toasts as well as creative/humorous product copy, I have experience in a variety of other areas including web copy, press releases, greeting cards, blogs & articles, video scripts, and marketing materials. Outside of Upwork I'm a customer experience & innovation consultant helping Fortune500 companies connect to their customers and find new ways to deliver value.

If you're looking for someone that's reliable, creative, and understands audiences, let's connect & get to work!

    My grandfather designed and built houses. My father was a chemical engineer and a woodworker who constructed furniture during the weekend. I like to think that the building impulse is in my genes; my raw material is not wood and nails but rather words. My passion for language and story precipitated my choices in my studies and in my career. As an English teacher, I love teaching students who are preparing for college and careers. I have also worked with student writers who have gained national recognition for their fiction and poetry. I have helped people expand their writing to elaborate on details and I have helped writers reduce their writing to fit a particular word count. My MA in Writing Studies allowed me to focus on my passion: fiction and poetry. While in the program, I also worked with journalism, editing, and nonfiction of all sorts. I have written 3 books as well. My skills include: • Close reading for grammar, spelling, organization, syntax, etc. • Correcting issues with wording, voice, and sentence structure. • Providing feedback on content. • Providing editorial support for application essays. • Providing editorial support for essays and other works of nonfiction. • Assisting poets and fiction writers with development of their work. • Tailoring writing to a specific audience. • Tutoring individuals who want to improve their writing. I write with an awareness of purpose and audience. I will work to your specifications, trying to provide the support that you need for your written work.

    My lifelong fascination with stories and the words that make them birthed a career in creating writings that leave lasting impressions on anyone who encounters them. For over four years, I have used the old arts of creative writing, proofreading, and editing to produce novel solutions for my clients. Also, through working for several clients offline and online, I have gained the experience needed to execute complex projects while prioritizing customer satisfaction. I am forever grateful for every opportunity I get to harness the power of words to transform ideas into impactful texts and positively position businesses. Why Do I Write? Every word is essential to me; if I'm honest, words are all I have. Words are the ingredients that realize my imagination. They are my only tools. I have a sense of humor—people say so—that finds its way into my works, and my ability covers a range of disciplines. Whether it's a short story, a script, an article, web writing, copywriting, or ghostwriting about ghosts, I can handle it. I can employ my expertise to improve your business and help you tell an old story with fresh, intriguing insights. Also, if you need help designing a concept for your brand, and the words won't budge, or you want to flesh out an idea that seems stuck in its conceptual mold, contact me; let's find a solution for you. I'm the team lead of King Homes Charity's Content Creation Department, where I contribute my quota to managing a team of creatives devoted to the service of humanity. I post articles on Medium at Ishola Quwam and blog on Akowekowura.wordpress.com.

    Let’s face it: It’s not about the length of the copy. It’s how you use it. And bullet messages pierce through minds harder than real ones. My writing is brief, precise, and with a bang! Bang bang… Now let’s scale it up. And I don’t mean font size. There you are, looking for the best words for your company; whether you own it, run it, or manage some outsourcing aspects of it. Here you can find copy and words that engage, tell a story, and drive an action. What’s best of all is that I offer hassle-free copywriting services. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the experience. That’s because you’re putting your written communication in the hands of a pro copywriter. Writing the copy your project needs is like a coming of age process, where someone puts the proper word in its proper place and everything falls into place. I’ll be the ideal narrator for that story. Just like you, I know what a true professional really is. I’ve been through the ropes, I can tie a Windsor with one hand, and I can write clever enough copy so you keep reading it, and smile surprised that you actually do so. So my words might have some magic in it—the type of magic casted from talent and experience. Also, the type of magic you are looking for. That’s because your projects are a bit lost of words right now. Don’t worry, I’m here to fix that, improve it, give it a voice, make it legendary. Yet, all is useless if not for R.O.I and creating copy that sells. You already know there are words that inspire and words that sell. I can do the words that inspire any sell. After all, you’re already sold (into me) by now, right? Drop me a line and I’ll drop the beat. And the syntax.

    I have been working as a freelancer for more than 20 years. As a writer I am intuitive at translating your thoughts and ideas into solid prose; you give me the key concepts, I'll give you articulate and persuasive content that expresses exactly what you mean. I have a loyal roster of clients who come to me again and again for this type of help. As a ghostwriter, I've received praise for being professional, easy to work with, and for consistently delivering high-quality content. I am highly organized and am willing to tackle complicated projects. My special talent is working with authors, either collaborating to create original content or editing and adapting existing content for a new audience. I have significant experience working with novelists and screenwriters. It has been my pleasure to work with hundreds of clients from all walks of life during the past two decades. I've assisted ministers and marketed tribute bands, administrated a non-profit, and kept family law attorneys organized. I've crafted marketing material for a microscope salesman and authored an installation manual for floating harbor barriers. I'm an ace at business correspondence and I love to craft "book blurbs"!

    I'm Sam, a professional writer and MSc graduate. I have 7+ years of experience writing effective, high-performing content across numerous industries, sectors, topics and niches. I've maintained an excellent track record with new and ongoing clients, some of whom I've worked with successfully for several years. Much of my recent work has been tech, science and B2B-focused, but I love writing about more light-hearted or cultural subjects ranging from DIY and gardening to DJing, interior design, art and music. I'm a keen drummer, photographer and visual artist. Many of my blogs and articles are backlinked by other sites, including authority sites, and perform very well in terms of their SEO metrics. In addition, I have helped small blogs and websites grow their readership to hundreds of thousands of weekly visitors. I have plenty of published work available for reference. My MSc degree was gained in International Development and Social Anthropology, for which I received a merit (2:1 equivalent) from Birkbeck University College London. I received my BA degree in Audio and Music Production. I'm straightforward to contact, flexible and able to work to tight deadlines around the clock. Give me a shout about any task or project and I'll be happy to discuss anything with you.

How to Hire Top Speech Writers

How to hire speechwriters

Got a major speaking event around the corner and need to deliver a professional public address? A speechwriter can help.

So how do you hire speechwriters? What follows are some tips for finding top speechwriters on Upwork.

How to shortlist speechwriting professionals

As you’re browsing available speechwriting consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a speechwriter who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target audience.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., writing speeches for political campaigns).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular speechwriter.

How to write an effective speechwriting job post

With a clear picture of your ideal speechwriter in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a freelancer to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective speechwriting job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From ghostwriting speeches to editing your own work, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or types of speeches, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in speechwriting consultants:

  • Speechwriting
  • Ghostwriting
  • Public relations
  • Proofreading and editing

Why hire speechwriters?

The trick to finding top speechwriters is to identify your needs. Is your goal to encourage donations at a charity dinner, inspire students at a graduation, or express your gratitude when accepting an award? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

How much does it cost to hire a speechwriter?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced speechwriter may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their speechwriting more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
