TED-Style Talk Writer
The best TED-style talks look effortless and are anything but. One idea, earned through a story, delivered in twelve to eighteen minutes with not a wasted word. The discipline is in what you leave out. I help you find the single idea worth your audience’s time, then build everything else around it.
I write talks that are personal, persuasive and built to be remembered, in your voice and around your insight, so you can stand up with something genuinely worth saying.
What you get
- Your one big idea, found, sharpened and made unmistakably clear.
- A story that earns it, so the idea lands emotionally, not just intellectually.
- Ruthless focus, every line tested against whether it serves the idea.
- A talk built for the format, tight, paced and timed to the slot.
- Your voice throughout, with unlimited revisions until it’s right.
How it works
- We find the idea. We talk through what you know and care about, and isolate the one idea worth the stage.
- I write the talk. A complete, tightly structured TED-style talk built around it.
- We refine it together until every word earns its place.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a TED-style talk different?
Focus. It’s one idea, not an overview, carried by a story and delivered without a wasted word. The craft is in the discipline.
I have lots to say, can we fit it all in?
The job is choosing. I’ll help you find the single idea that’s worth the slot, and that focus is exactly what makes these talks memorable.
Will it sound like me?
Always. I write in your voice so the talk is yours, just clearer and tighter than any of us manage alone.
Is it confidential?
Completely, and I’m happy to sign an NDA.
How is it priced?
Per project, as scope varies. Tell me about your talk and I’ll send a tailored quote.
Can’t I just use ChatGPT or AI?
You can, but brace yourself. I’ve tested it thoroughly: AI lists your facts in order, can’t judge what’s appropriate, and — fatally for a speech — it can’t be funny. It arranges words; it can’t find the story only you can tell or read a room. Here’s what happened when I put ChatGPT to the test →
