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.

Since 2016, I’ve been shaping compelling narratives that resonate with audiences, with several of my scripts/videos reaching over 1,000,000 views. Whether crafting engaging YouTube content, developing eLearning materials, or simplifying complex topics, I pride myself on turning ideas into impactful, approachable content. - Creative Scriptwriter - Technical Scriptwriter - Content & Copywriter - Copy Editor With over nine years of experience, I’ve written for audiences of all sizes, from scripting for YouTube channels with 12.5M+ subscribers to developing a 20-hour digital marketing eLearning course.
