There is no vision so vast, intimate, or out there that it cannot be communicated perfectly with the right words. I write for corporations that want their kids to like them and independent creators who want their parents to respect them. With an artistic background, an eye for structure, and a compulsion for wit and lyricism, I've tended to succeed where corporate meets consumer and where independents strive for high levels of creativity and professionalism. I employ color, elegance, intelligence, humor, wordplay, a few winks, and much hard work to ensure my clients are happy. My unique angle stems from my dual areas of expertise: on the one hand, I am a well-disciplined agency writer, comfortable delivering complex work on time and within budget; on the other, I am a musician, freelancer, and contrarian who can transition seamlessly into poetry, wit, irreverence, and pithy commentary. Clients most often bring me in to: —Ghostwrite memoirs and personal transformation stories that feel rich, human, and voice-driven (including for Olympic athletes, founders, and creatives). —Write brand scripts, keynote speeches, and web copy that blend sharp messaging with emotional punch. —Craft children’s books—sometimes rhyming, often offbeat, always memorable—with emotional clarity and playfulness. Every project is different—but if the story matters, I’m in. Upwork clients have said of their experience working with me (taken from my testimonials) … —“I must say, he is nothing short of remarkable. Steve is not only incredibly talented but also an amazing human being.” —“I have yet to ask him for help on a project that he hasn’t vastly improved the idea. He is a testament to the writing profession.” —“Steve is a gift of a human. I'm glad to have met and worked with him. He truly has exceptional talent.” —“Steve did a fantastic job on a challenging assignment.” —“Usually, when I work with freelancers, the work takes weeks to months. He had it done in days and turnover in less than 24 hours. Possibly one of the best freelancers I've worked with.” —“Steve knocked our project out of the ballpark!” —“Steve is a brilliant, creative writer with a totally professional attitude. Working with him was sheer joy.” And it would be my job to ensure you are equally happy. Contacting me won’t cost you a thing. I would love to hear from you. Reliable — creative ghostwriter — creative writing — video scripts — speech writing — branding — children's literature — rhyming books — memoirs — novels — non-fiction — coaching — structure — humor.

I am a UK-based author of fiction, currently traditionally published with Scholastic, Chicken House and Hugo Stardust. Creative writing has always been a passion of mine, as an avid reader myself, I have spoken about fiction and the world of publishing for numerous podcasts and media outlets, including Eastern Eye Magazine, Spill the Cha Podcast, The Book Box Club, The Book Chain Project and The Big Kids Book Club Podcast. I have also held a number of creative writing courses and workshops aimed at aspiring writers for UCLAN Publishing, YALC, Hay Festival, The Literary Consultancy, Futurescapes, The English Language Honors Society, NYA Lit Fest and I Am in Print. I was the winner of the Kimberley Chambers Fiction Prize in 2019, organised by Harper Collins, and have provided creative writing mentorship for aspiring writers through the RevPit mentorship scheme, where I assisted in synopsis and query letter writing, alongside beta reading and sensitivity reading after being selected as runner up in their annual Revise and Resub competition in 2019. My first novel was named on Waterstones' Best Books of 2022 list, whilst my second novel was longlisted for the Diverse Book Awards in 2024. I have always supported the representation of underrepresented voices within publishing and assisted in hosting the inaugural South Asian Literature Festival in 2024 in partnership with The British Library. I aim to bring my wealth of experience within publishing and my passion for creative writing to my writing and editing services, which range from the developmental/ structural editing of novels, where I look at character development, story arcs and plot holes, to more detailed line editing, copyediting and proofreading.
