Howard D.
Script & Ghost Writer/Editor
I am a highly creative, native English-speaking writer and editor, with a degree in English: Creative Writing, and 15 years of professional experience, including a BAFTA nomination for the BBC television series Horrible Histories. Here on Upwork, I'm lucky enough to ghost write/edit on a huge range of different projects, working with creative and corporate clients from all over the world. My job is to make your YouTube video, non-fiction e-book, novel, explainer video, e-training course, company commercial, website copy or comedy sketch - the list goes on! - the very best it can be. I pride myself on my ability to quickly find/mimic the right voice, and best way to tell any story, share any content or sell any brand. Having previously worked as a television producer, across large, multi-disciplinary teams, I enjoy working with people as much as I do ideas, and I invite you to check out the testimonials on my profile, and read my clients' feedback. Away from work I love music, football, food, walking, travel and…writing! My critically-acclaimed debut novel Don't Worry, Everything Is Going To Be Amazing was published in 2020 under the pen name Billy Moran, whilst on the non-fiction side, 50 Shades of Gravy: The Cookbook (by IM Pliant) was a best-seller shipping over 10,000 copies. I have also run my own small publishing imprint releasing fiction and non-fiction books by other TV writers, which I edited. If you'd like a quote, please share your project spec, and I'll be happy to jump on a call.
