About

I'm a Ghanaian-British writer and artist.I write content such as visual novel scripts, shorts, descriptions, and flavour text.With an outline, I can produce 35-40,000 words of unedited work a month when an outline is ready, and require the same amount of time to edit.My strengths are character-driven scenes, as well as emotional endings (good and bad). I also don't shy away from topics such as loss or trauma.

Familiar Genres:Romance, Contemporary, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Young Adult, New Adult, Gothic Romance, Regency Romance, Action & Adventure.Open to other genres as well and may be able to present other types of samples if asked.

Narrative ResearchIf there are films or novels that match your narrative tastes, I can take them on as part of my research for matching your needs, so please feel free to mention narrative inspirations. However, I will not play recommended games as I don't have the time.My own personal tastes include authors such as Robin Hobb, Leigh Bardugo, or works like Violet Evergarden.

TropesI'm particularly fond of: Jerks with hearts of gold, flirts, dark fantasy, gothic romance, angst, heartfelt declarations of love, and slow burns.Capable in: Adventure, Sidekick humour, and Introspective protagonists.
