Available to hire
I’m Tim Franks, a scriptwriter and content creator with a knack for turning ideas into stories that really connect. With a background in theatre and a Master’s in Screenwriting (Distinction), I bring both creative flair and professional polish to every project.
I’ve written for YouTube channels with millions of subscribers, ghostwritten across niches, and developed screenplays that blend rich storytelling with strong character focus. Whether it’s scripting high-volume factual videos, shaping thought-provoking narratives, or creating engaging educational content, I know how to adapt tone and style for different audiences.
Clients tell me I’m imaginative, collaborative, and detail-oriented. I love working with people, bouncing ideas around, and shaping a clear creative direction together. If you’re looking for someone who can combine research-driven structure with bold storytelling and fresh ideas, that’s where I shine.
