Screenwriter & High-Retention YouTube Ghostwriter | 20 Years of Storytelling For the past two decades, I’ve made a living telling stories people can’t turn away from. I’m a professional screenwriter and author with clients ranging from first-time writers to major publishers, including Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster. I started out adapting novels and short stories into Hollywood-ready scripts. And for the past five years, I have brought that same cinematic storytelling approach to YouTube. High-retention YouTube scripts aren’t solely about the “content.” They’re about tension, pacing, payoff, and knowing exactly when to raise new questions and explore uncovered angles before the viewer clicks away. That’s where most scriptwriters fail. Anybody can summarize information and recycle Wikipedia articles. Very few writers know how to structure a story that keeps an audience locked in from the cold open to the final line. And I still write all of my scripts without trying to pass off AI as my own. I specialize in: Documentary-style YouTube scripts Horror & mystery storytelling Sports storytelling and deep dives Historical and investigative narratives Film & television adaptation writing Long-form cinematic scripts built for retention Whether you need a studio-quality adaptation, a dark cinematic documentary script, or a binge-worthy YouTube narrative, I deliver writing that feels professional, intentional, and built to hold attention. The goal isn’t just views. It’s watch time. Whether you're shopping for a studio-ready film adaptation or a YouTube script designed to maximize watch time, I can deliver professional, industry-standard writing tailored to your specific goals.
