Hi, I’m James D. Thornton, PhD. I’m a writer, editor, designer, and audio/video editor with a knack for turning ideas into clear, engaging content across media. I run jamesthetrue.com and collaborate with clients to craft stories that resonate.
My background in linguistics and broadcasting informs my precise grammar, syntax, and ability to deliver compelling narration and copy. I thrive in collaborative roles—from event coordination to public relations—bringing concepts to life from idea to completion.
