    Published Author | Narrative Strategist & Long-form Scriptwriter
    https://www.twine.net/signin

    Overview: "I am a Published Author and Narrative Strategist with over 7 years of experience in the art of storytelling. My work bridges the gap between deep, academic-level research and high-retention digital content.

    I specialize in ‘Narrative Architecture’—transforming complex data and dry subjects into cinematic, logically structured scripts that keep audiences hooked. Whether it’s a documentary, an investigative deep-dive, or a brand story, I focus on ‘The Why’ before ‘The What’ to ensure maximum emotional and intellectual impact.

    Key Expertise:

    Long-form Storytelling: Author of published literary works (Ain Horus Publishing).

    Narrative Design: Applying theatrical dramaturgy to YouTube and digital media to drive watch time.

    Deep Research: Rigorous fact-checking across history, philosophy, and technology.

    Structural Pacing: Crafting scripts that are optimized for visual flow and editing.

    I don’t just write; I engineer engagement through structure and soul."
