    Hi! I'm Gabriel Fortuin, a 20-year-old, disabled writer from Cape Town. Writing's been a massive passion of mine for years now, beginning before I even started high school. I'm especially fond of writing fiction, and storytelling. In the last year, I've dove into screenwriting as well. I've written several short films and some scripts for YouTube channels. If it's involved in creative writing, I'm interested. Seriously. Need a script? I'm your guy! From skits to YouTube videos, web series, video games, short films, TV pilots, or even feature-length films. Need something written? I'm your guy! From comic books to short stories, children's books, or full-on novels! Whether it's writing, co-writing, or ghostwriting. Already wrote something and just need help putting the finishing touches on it? I'm. Your. Guy! Happy to aid you in proofreading, plotting, editing, outlining, and developing!

    Picture this: a blank canvas, a head full of wild ideas, and a passion-fueled mission to turn imagination into something tangible, delightful, and maybe just a little bit weird. That’s where I come in. Welcome to my little corner, where rules are merely suggestions, "normal" is just another word for boring, and humor is the universal language. I’m not your run-of-the-mill designer --- I'm more of a mad scientist concocting ideas with a healthy mix of imagination, curiosity and just enough silliness to keep things interesting. After all, life without laughter is just existing --- and life's too short for that. I believe the best ideas aren’t born from blindly following trends --- they're born from daring to stray from the crowd (and maybe stumbling onto something brilliant along the way). Whether it’s crafting a visual narrative, designing with a sprinkle of humor, or chasing the perfect “aha!” moment, my goal is to make your vision not just real but remarkable.

    What if the key to resonating with your customers lies in a writer who was never taught how to write? I understand how disheartening it can be when your email campaigns don’t connect with your audience, leaving you feeling frustrated and unheard. Many copywriters focus solely on technical skills... But I believe that true impact comes from genuine connection. Imagine stepping into a room filled with potential, where every email you send creates a ripple of engagement. Picture your readers, eyes wide with interest, feeling like you’re speaking directly to them, their needs, and their dreams. While others may deliver generic content... I focus on building relationships through authentic storytelling that inspires action. Each email becomes a journey, guiding your readers through relatable experiences that evoke emotions and inspire loyalty.
