Because stories are the thing that makes us human.

I tell stories — about people, places, and the odd brand or two — because I believe everything worth knowing begins with one.

Stories Are The Thing isn’t a company. It’s me — a writer with an ear for the human side of things. I write the kind of pieces that make you feel something; travel writing that smells of the road, brand copy that sounds like it was written by an actual person, and fiction that sneaks a little truth between the lines.

Whether I’m writing about a small café in Leeds or shaping the voice of a creative business, it’s all the same craft: finding the pulse of a story and bringing it to life on the page.

If you need words that make people care — or if you just want your story told in an engaging, truthful, and most importantly human way — you’re in the right place.

Because stories aren’t the extra thing.

They’re the thing.
