Richard M.

Top YouTube Scriptwriter | Researcher | Retention Expert

I write YouTube scripts that help you gain millions of views and improve your audience retention graph. I have spent over 4 years writing scripts. Hence, I understand the stakes: If your video loses viewers in the first few seconds, the algorithm drops it. If your story drags or repeats, your retention drops, and so does your reach If your hook doesn’t match your title, viewers bounce, and the algorithm notices. That's why I write with clear narrative arcs, fast pacing, emotional hooks, and strategic callouts. I am your guy if you're building or already have a channel dealing in: ✅ Movie Recaps ✅ Sport [tennis, NBA, Soccer, NFL] countdown/listicles, documentaries..... ✅ Cave diving ✅ Men’s Motivation/Personal Development ✅ Police Body Cam ✅ History & Crime ✅ Tech & Gadgets ✅ Business & Entrepreneurship ✅ Celebrity Gossip I specialize in retention-driven scripts that combine deep research, engaging storytelling, and algorithm-friendly structure. That is: ✅ Long-form documentary-style scripts (5–10 minutes, 20+ minutes, or 5K+ words) ✅ Short's hooks that grab attention in under 5 seconds ✅ Scripts that match your channel's voice, tone, and pacing ✅ Scripts optimized for watch time, viewer retention, and engagement I've written for channels with thousands of subscribers and growing. My sports script for one tennis creator has passed 1 million views. Another script just crossed 500,000 views. Here’s what one of my clients said: “Richard is an amazing writer... easily one of the best writers I’ve worked with.” — Kye Seriously, let me help you build a channel with scripts that earn trust, spark shares, and grow your audience consistently. Send me a message. Let’s get your next video performing like your best one.
