I am a US-based professional producer and scriptwriter with over 10 years of experience in writing for YouTube, high-volume newsletters, online publications, and direct clients. The flagship channel I produce has amassed 30 million views since I came on board.
I've written across niches for many other channels as well, including music, film, history, politics, sports, food, and branded commercial work. I specialize in arts/entertainment, pop-culture, and technology.
My latest script has gained 2 million views in the past month and helped double the channel’s subscriber count.
What I focus on:
🎯 Hooks that earn the first 30 seconds
It's important to grab the viewer’s attention from the very beginning. Writing great hooks is a skill that is essential to having a successful video.
⏱ Pacing that protects retention
Having a clear structure and an understanding of momentum throughout the script is what sets great scripts apart from the good ones. A script is not an essay. It should have a natural rhythm and be a conversation with the audience.
🗣 Voice matching
A lot of my work has been ghostwriting. Knowing how to write in a consistent voice across the same channel is important to establishing a distinct and clear brand.
✍️ Research
I started my career as an arts and entertainment journalist, so I research everything before I write. I always fact-check claims and flag anything I can't verify. No false assumptions, no invented quotes.
📋 Reliable delivery
Before submitting the final script, I ensure that word counts are accurate, the format is correct, and that all requirements are met. I’ve never missed a deadline and I try to get everything right on the first go to avoid the need for revisions.
Beyond YouTube, I can help with:
+ Newsletters
+ YouTube Strategy
+ Video Production
+ Substack articles
+ Social media copy
+ Short-form video scripts (TikTok, Reels)
+ Creative writing projects
+ Video Editing
Although I am in the US, I am willing to work within European or American hours.
If you need a versatile and successful writer or producer who understands how to grow an audience, let’s talk.

My name is Lukhanyo July.
I usually work on a project basis, with pricing depending on the brief, research depth, word count, turnaround time and revision needs. My hourly rate is listed as a platform reference point, but I am open to fixed-price contracts for clearly defined writing projects.
I am a writer, storyteller and emerging editorial voice with a background in Film and Television and Media and Writing. My work is rooted in narrative development, audience engagement and the ability to turn information, moments and source material into meaningful content.
I do not only write scripts. I shape stories.
Through my work as a YouTube scriptwriter, I have written over 75 scripts that transformed football highlights, transfer sagas, player rivalries, match moments and breaking news into compelling digital stories. This experience has strengthened my ability to identify an angle, build a clear structure and write in a way that keeps audiences engaged from the opening line to the final sentence.
My writing sits at the intersection of storytelling, media and editorial thinking. I understand how to create hooks, develop narrative flow, adapt tone for different audiences and turn fast-moving information into content that feels focused, readable and purposeful.
As an aspiring editor and features editor, I am especially interested in writing that does more than list facts. I want to shape stories that help audiences understand why a moment matters, what is at stake and why they should keep reading or watching.
I bring experience in digital content, scriptwriting, research, audience-focused storytelling and client-based writing. My goal is to create content that is clear, engaging, well-structured and intentional.
