Corporate speechwriting

Award & Host Script Writer

Awards nights live or die on the script. Whether you’re accepting, presenting, or hosting the whole evening, the words have to be warm, witty, gracious and tightly timed, with the energy to carry a room that’s been at the bar since six. I write acceptance speeches, presenter lines and full host scripts that do exactly that.

Original, genuinely funny where it should be, and always pitched for the room and your voice.

Award & Host Script Writer, All Speeches Great & Small

What you get

  • Acceptance speeches that are gracious, memorable and never a mumbled list of thank-yous.
  • Presenter and link lines with wit and polish, written for the moment.
  • Full host / MC scripts that set the tone, keep the night moving and handle the gaps.
  • Tight timing, so the evening flies rather than drags.
  • Your voice and the right humour, judged for the audience, with unlimited revisions.

How it works

  1. Tell me about the night. The event, the running order, the audience and your role in it.
  2. I write the script. Acceptance, presenting or a full host script, built around the evening.
  3. We sharpen it together, timing and tightening until it’s ready.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Do you write full host/MC scripts or just speeches?

Both, from a single acceptance speech to a complete running script for the host of the evening.

Will it be funny without being risky?

Sharp where it should be, never cheap or off-key, and always judged for the specific room.

Can you work to the running order?

Yes, I write to the timings and the schedule so the night keeps moving.

Is it confidential?

Always, and under an NDA if you need one.

How is it priced?

Per project. Tell me about the event 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 →
