Hello, future clients! I bring you over 30 years of top-notch work, from writing over 200 explainer videos to writing TV commercials for Disney; from TedTalks to selling TV series (scripted comedy and reality), and even 2 full-length musicalsl. And that's the tip of the iceberg. I have also worked with a bunch of famous people but I won't bore you with the details. But please ask--- okay, Jason Alexander. My clients always come first, no matter the project. I value your feedback and I will bend over backwards, like Simone Biles, to get it right. I look forward to working with you. Phil

Regardless of the genre, I can ensure you that you will receive interesting, original lyrics.   In the past, I have written rock, alternative, pop, EDM, rap, blues, gospel, metal, punk, fantasy, and even a school fight song. Depending on your requirements for your project, I will write lyrics, record a demo, or even record a studio version. At this time, I am not open to writing instrumental tracks for clients.

There is no vision so vast, intimate, or out there that it cannot be communicated perfectly with the right words. I write for corporations that want their kids to like them and independent creators who want their parents to respect them. With an artistic background, an eye for structure, and a compulsion for wit and lyricism, I've tended to succeed where corporate meets consumer and where independents strive for high levels of creativity and professionalism. I employ color, elegance, intelligence, humor, wordplay, a few winks, and much hard work to ensure my clients are happy. My unique angle stems from my dual areas of expertise: on the one hand, I am a well-disciplined agency writer, comfortable delivering complex work on time and within budget; on the other, I am a musician, freelancer, and contrarian who can transition seamlessly into poetry, wit, irreverence, and pithy commentary. Clients most often bring me in to: —Ghostwrite memoirs and personal transformation stories that feel rich, human, and voice-driven (including for Olympic athletes, founders, and creatives). —Write brand scripts, keynote speeches, and web copy that blend sharp messaging with emotional punch. —Craft children’s books—sometimes rhyming, often offbeat, always memorable—with emotional clarity and playfulness. Every project is different—but if the story matters, I’m in. Upwork clients have said of their experience working with me (taken from my testimonials) … —“I must say, he is nothing short of remarkable. Steve is not only incredibly talented but also an amazing human being.” —“I have yet to ask him for help on a project that he hasn’t vastly improved the idea. He is a testament to the writing profession.” —“Steve is a gift of a human. I'm glad to have met and worked with him. He truly has exceptional talent.” —“Steve did a fantastic job on a challenging assignment.” —“Usually, when I work with freelancers, the work takes weeks to months. He had it done in days and turnover in less than 24 hours. Possibly one of the best freelancers I've worked with.” —“Steve knocked our project out of the ballpark!” —“Steve is a brilliant, creative writer with a totally professional attitude. Working with him was sheer joy.” And it would be my job to ensure you are equally happy. Contacting me won’t cost you a thing. I would love to hear from you.
