I am an award-winning screenwriter, story development consultant, and script analyst with more than a decade of professional experience helping writers, producers, and studios take projects from rough idea to production-ready script. I specialise in emotionally rich, character-driven stories for film, TV, audio drama, games, animation, and branded content. My work spans everything from contained indie dramas and true-story adaptations to animated explainers, murder mystery games, and high-concept genre pieces. Some quick credentials: • MA Screenwriting (Distinction, UWE) and BA Film Production (First Class, UCA) • Founder of Script Lighthouse, providing story development to clients worldwide • Script reader and analyst for organisations such as the BFI, ScriptUp, Script Studio, Unsolicited Scripts, The Pitch Film Fund, The Film Exchange, and Sheffield Global Cinema Festival • Experience with production companies including Wrong Dimension Productions, Moose Alley Films, Pood Studio, Red Amber, Soul Sentinel Productions, Tasnim Creates, Spiral Media, and more • Multiple awards, including Filmarket Hub’s Project of the Month and Best Screenplay at 48HFP Amsterdam On Upwork, I typically help clients with: • Script development and rewrites Taking a draft that is “almost there” and shaping it into a tighter, more emotionally satisfying script with clear structure, sharper dialogue, and stronger character arcs. • Script coverage and in-depth notes Professional reader-style reports covering premise, structure, character, theme, tone, pacing, dialogue, and market positioning, with precise, practical recommendations. • Book-to-screen adaptation Translating novels, memoirs, and true stories into cinematic screenplays or series bibles that preserve the heart of the original while working for screen. • Concept development and beat sheets Helping you clarify your idea, build a robust spine (logline, premise, theme, character journeys), and map out a scene-by-scene outline. • Explainer, animation, and e-learning scripts Crafting narrative-driven scripts and storyboards that make complex ideas clear, engaging, and visually playable for animation teams and clients. Clients often tell me they value my ability to: • Quickly understand what they are trying to say and why it matters • Offer honest but tactful feedback that respects their voice • Find solutions that are both creatively exciting and practically achievable • Bring a calm, organised, collaborative presence to the process Whether you need a full script, a page-one rewrite, detailed coverage on a draft, or a development partner to help shape a project over time, I would be happy to help. Send me a brief description of your project, what you are hoping to achieve, and where you are in the process, and we can work out the best way forward.

Most YouTube videos don't lose viewers because of poor editing. They lose viewers because the script gives them no reason to keep watching. I write high-retention YouTube scripts for documentary and history channels, long-form, research-driven narratives built around verified facts, strong pacing, and a payoff worth staying for. How I work: ➡️ Research first : every script starts with source verification: archives, primary documents, academic sources, and credible reporting, not summarized secondhand claims. ➡️ Structural outline : hook within the first 20–30 seconds, rehooks every 30–45 seconds, and an ending the whole script is built backward from. ➡️ Draft with a fact-check log : every claim is sourced and logged, so the deliverable is audit-ready, not just well-researched in name. ➡️ Final pacing pass : short-short-short-long sentence rhythm, formatted clean for ElevenLabs or human voiceover, no filler, no AI-sounding phrasing. I specialize in ✔ Documentary YouTube scripts ✔ History and biography scripts (ancient, world, and American history) ✔ True crime and investigative narratives ✔ Faceless and narration-driven YouTube channels ✔ Long-form YouTube scriptwriting (15–40+ minutes) ✔ Business, finance, and scandal breakdowns ✔ Explainer and educational video scripts What you get: ➡️ Scripts built around a verified fact base, sourced and citable ➡️ Strong hooks that earn attention immediately, not generic teases ➡️ A fact-check log delivered with every script ➡️ Clean, editor-ready formatting with section labels and bolded rehooks ➡️ 24 to 48 hours turnaround on standard scripts, 4000-5000 on long-form/documentary-length work ➡️ Two rounds of revisions included ➡️ DOCX handoff formatted for voice-over artists and editors FAQ Can you match my channel's existing tone? Yes — I study your published videos for pacing, vocabulary, and structure so new scripts feel consistent with what's already working. Do you use AI? Only as a research and structuring aid. Every fact is manually verified and every sentence is human-written — each script ships with a sourcing log so you can confirm accuracy yourself. Can you handle recurring weekly or monthly output? Yes — I write on a recurring basis for ongoing channels and agencies, and I'm set up to slot directly into an existing production pipeline. I'm comfortable working in Trello, and Google Docs, and I collaborate directly with editors and voice-over talent rather than working in isolation. If you're building a documentary or history channel and want scripts that are researched, fact-checked, and built to keep viewers watching to the end, send me your topic or channel link and I'll tell you exactly how I'd approach it.
