We work with you to produce precise, well-written, narrative-based writing that will connect with your audience and drive the specific actions you need to meet whatever goals you have.
We’ll work with you to develop your ideas, conduct interviews, and gather research to support your project. We’ll create the stories you want to tell and get your opinions in front of the right people in a format that works for them.
Our approach is rooted in telling stories, and we use a narrative approach to writing: inspired by non-fiction, we enjoy setting the scene, providing colourful context, getting readers interested, and holding their attention to the end. At Story, we care about well-written, readable content people enjoy and learn from.
“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Rupert on the pro-manchester equality, diversity and inclusion report. It’s a real milestone project, a first of its kind, and it was a real comfort to know it was in safe hands. Rupert’s relaxed yet thorough, flexible and adaptable approach made him a dream to work with. I am confident this is just the beginning of our working relationship, and I am very much looking forward to where this leads us.”
“It has been a pleasure working with Rupert. He has developed a number of research briefings for the Work and Equalities Institute which are targeted towards an audience that goes beyond academics. Rupert has worked on a cross-section of topic areas and expertly translated the research into a more digestible format. He introduced an innovative approach, which involved interviewing academics and referencing news media and other research, so that the briefings became far more animated than a standard report.”
“I’ve worked with Rupert on dozens of business-focused content projects, and you can always rely on him to bring the subject matter alive. Rupert has a special talent for finding the human-interest angle that helps the reader relate – and makes you want to delve deeper into the story.”
Projects that involve producing a story: taking an idea and turning it into something that reveals new information, insight, and opinion – and is interesting to read. I enjoy working with creative and curious people who value the journalistic approach in their organisations.
I can work on a retainer or on individual projects for you.
As a retained writer, I work on editorial projects, from idea development to delivery. I am a retained writer and editorial consultant for a global professional services firm, working alongside the marketing team to produce ghostwritten media articles for senior leaders in the UK, Europe and the US. I also work on projects that can last for a few weeks or months.
In 2006, I worked as a sub-editor (page design and copy editing) for a weekly newspaper in Dubai. During an editorial meeting, the editor said he wanted to produce a supplement about Kuwait, and I put my hand up. From that moment, my writing career started properly; on the streets and offices of Kuwait City, I discovered a love of interviewing and features writing, which I have been doing ever since.
