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. I can upgrade bland AI content, develop prompts and I've even taught bots to tell jokes that are almost as funny as mine. Let me help you tell your story and put your message across.

As a speechwriter, I've written for over a thousand clients, from Best Men, to CEOs, to high profile TV celebrities; creating funny, engaging material for performers and non-performers alike.

My approach combines thorough research, precision, and creativity, ensuring every project connects with its intended audience. I believe writing is both an art and a craft, much like music.
