I am a highly creative, native English-speaking writer and editor, with a degree in English: Creative Writing, and 15 years of professional experience, including a BAFTA nomination for the BBC television series Horrible Histories. Here on Upwork, I'm lucky enough to ghost write/edit on a huge range of different projects, working with creative and corporate clients from all over the world. My job is to make your YouTube video, non-fiction e-book, novel, explainer video, e-training course, company commercial, website copy or comedy sketch - the list goes on! - the very best it can be. I pride myself on my ability to quickly find/mimic the right voice, and best way to tell any story, share any content or sell any brand. Having previously worked as a television producer, across large, multi-disciplinary teams, I enjoy working with people as much as I do ideas, and I invite you to check out the testimonials on my profile, and read my clients' feedback. Away from work I love music, football, food, walking, travel and…writing! My critically-acclaimed debut novel Don't Worry, Everything Is Going To Be Amazing was published in 2020 under the pen name Billy Moran, whilst on the non-fiction side, 50 Shades of Gravy: The Cookbook (by IM Pliant) was a best-seller shipping over 10,000 copies. I have also run my own small publishing imprint releasing fiction and non-fiction books by other TV writers, which I edited. If you'd like a quote, please share your project spec, and I'll be happy to jump on a call.

Do you want to tell your story in your voice, but clearer, sharper and more entertaining? I can help. I am an experienced storyteller. Whatever you want to say I can help make you shorter, sharper, clearer and often funnier. I've helped populate YouTube channels, with orginal content, that grabs attention. All the way from the first seconds of the intro to the final seconds of the CTA. As a professional speechwriter, gag writer, and stand-up comic, I know how to create a good turn of phrase, writing lively content, and engaging with an audience. I've used these skills to help with web content that tells a client's story, Kick-starters that get things started. I also have extensive skills in working with AI and giving it that all important human touch. I can use all manner of AI tools, to produce human content that has real impact and always passes plagiarism filters. I've written for everyone from TED speakers to gurus and BBC comedy. I can upgrade bland AI content, develop prompts and I've even taught bots to tell jokes that are almost as funny as mine. Let me help you tell your story and put your message across.
