Hello, I'm Doug,
I write

I’m a playwright, screenwriter, and performer. I also write for leaders, brands and brilliant causes - as a script writer, speech writer, and copy writer.

I tell stories and I help people tell their story.

“I’ve got many years hands-on experience as a storyteller across the creative industries. My writing services are industry-agnostic because I like variety and I love a surprising challenge. Also, I don’t believe creativity bows to the delineation of “sector”. I've developed and advanced original projects for filmmakers, performers, business leaders, public speakers, brands, and vital causes. My extensive portfolio reflects my versatility and uniquely dynamic approach.”
