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. Let me help you tell your story and put your message across.

Imaginative wordsmith that chiselled his craft over time, and transformed verbose into concise and flamboyant into practical. After all, succinct is the new best seller, and weโ€™re all running on borrowed time. ๐Ÿ“Œ What I do ๐Ÿ“Œ I play around with words and ideas as my day job. What can top this, right? Iโ€™ve been in the game as a writer and copywriter for more than a decade, and have no intention whatsoever to stop here. Thereโ€™s always a next best project looming at the event horizon. Maybe yours? ๐Ÿ”Ž My experience ๐Ÿ”Ž Diversified. Somewhat global.
