I produce high-quality work, while making the process as simple and pleasant as possible for the client. I will use my skills in editing, communication, research, organization and idea development to achieve the best possible outcome for each project I accept. My experience with teaching/facilitating training for my current and former employers has helped me learn to communicate clearly and explain difficult concepts in more understandable ways. I look forward to creating many professional relationships with clients here. Let's connect!

Are you looking for a talented writer who can help you achieve your content goals? I hold degrees in both journalism and mass media, and I have worked in both print and digital media. I have produced high-ranking, effective content for many organizations ranging from news publications to SaaS blogs. Not only can I create original, high-quality content that matches your brand voice and connects with your target audience, but I can also optimize the content for search and create supplemental images to boost engagement. In addition to SEO, I'm trained and experienced in answer engine optimization (AEO), so I can help your content be highlighted in AI-generated responses. You'll find my byline attached to nearly 2,000 articles published on the web, covering topics like finance, small business, visual design, SEO, technology, outdoors, and even HVAC. I've also ghostwritten an expansive list of works. Let's talk!

I am a US-based professional producer and scriptwriter with over 10 years of experience in writing for YouTube, high-volume newsletters, online publications, and direct clients. The flagship channel I produce has amassed 30 million views since I came on board. I've written across niches for many other channels as well, including music, film, history, politics, sports, food, and branded commercial work. I specialize in arts/entertainment, pop-culture, and technology. My latest script has gained 2 million views in the past month and helped double the channel’s subscriber count. What I focus on: 🎯 Hooks that earn the first 30 seconds It's important to grab the viewer’s attention from the very beginning. Writing great hooks is a skill that is essential to having a successful video. ⏱ Pacing that protects retention Having a clear structure and an understanding of momentum throughout the script is what sets great scripts apart from the good ones. A script is not an essay. It should have a natural rhythm and be a conversation with the audience. 🗣 Voice matching A lot of my work has been ghostwriting. Knowing how to write in a consistent voice across the same channel is important to establishing a distinct and clear brand. ✍️ Research I started my career as an arts and entertainment journalist, so I research everything before I write. I always fact-check claims and flag anything I can't verify. No false assumptions, no invented quotes. 📋 Reliable delivery Before submitting the final script, I ensure that word counts are accurate, the format is correct, and that all requirements are met. I’ve never missed a deadline and I try to get everything right on the first go to avoid the need for revisions. Beyond YouTube, I can help with: + Newsletters + YouTube Strategy + Video Production + Substack articles + Social media copy + Short-form video scripts (TikTok, Reels) + Creative writing projects + Video Editing Although I am in the US, I am willing to work within European or American hours. If you need a versatile and successful writer or producer who understands how to grow an audience, let’s talk.
