Services · Speech Script Writing Services
Speech script writing services give you a writer who builds a spoken-word script around your message, your audience and your time limit, in words you can actually say aloud. You tell us the occasion and the points you want to make. We deliver a script that sounds like you on your best day.
People come to us before keynotes, board meetings, weddings, funerals and award dinners. Some are polished speakers who simply lack time. Others dread the podium and want a script they can trust. Get a free consultation to talk through your event, and see how speeches fit with our wider ghostwriting services.
A speech is written for the ear, not the eye. Sentences that look elegant on a page can trip a speaker who has to breathe halfway through them. A good speechwriter uses shorter lines, repeats key ideas on purpose, puts the important word at the end of the sentence and leaves room for pauses and for laughter.
Length matters too. Most speakers deliver somewhere around 120 to 150 words a minute, depending on style and nerves, so a ten-minute talk is roughly 1,200 to 1,500 words. We write to your time slot and mark where a story can be cut if the schedule runs short.
Structure matters as well. A speech usually needs one central idea, three or fewer supporting points and a story that proves each of them. Audiences forget lists but remember scenes, so we give each point a person, a place or a moment.
Above all, the script has to sound like you. We start by listening to how you talk, which words you favor and which jokes feel natural. Many speakers practice with the free resources of Toastmasters, and for inspiration on how great speeches are built, the American Rhetoric archive is a rewarding place to study.
Executives and founders preparing for town halls, investor days and conferences. Authors invited to give a keynote on their book. Community leaders, nonprofit directors and school principals who speak often and cannot write every word themselves. Teams hire us for a whole season of remarks, so the founder sounds consistent from one stage to the next.
Private clients hire us too: a parent giving a toast, a friend asked to speak at a memorial, an organizer opening a charity gala. Speaking in front of people you care about is stressful, and having a draft in your hands eases that. You do not need any experience to hire us, and you do not need to know what you want to say yet. A few memories and a rough idea of the tone are enough to begin.
Each occasion has its own unspoken rules, so the first question we ask is who will be in the room and what they expect.
Opening, closing and featured talks with a clear central idea, a memorable story and an ending people remember. We also plan for the awkward minutes after the introduction, because that is where many speakers lose the room. If your keynote grows out of a book, our business book writing services can help the two support each other.
Town halls, all-hands messages, announcements and speeches for hard moments. We keep the tone honest and calm, and we avoid corporate filler. When the news is hard, we say the hard thing early and plainly, then explain what happens next. For written company material, see our corporate writing services.
Best man, maid of honor, parent and couple toasts. Warm, short and specific, with a joke only if you want one and a story that does not embarrass anyone in the front row. We keep the length to a few minutes, because guests are holding glasses and the food is coming.
We take special care here. We listen to your memories, find the thread that matters and write in a plain, loving voice. You decide what to include, and nothing is added that you cannot say with a steady heart.
Acceptance remarks, commencement addresses, retirement tributes and welcome speeches. These are usually brief, so each sentence has to carry weight, and thanking the right people matters more than any flourish. We check names, titles and pronunciations with you before the final draft, which saves a very public mistake.
Spoken scripts for sales pitches, investor presentations and webinars, paired with your slides. For video versions, our script writing services follow similar principles with added direction for the screen. A presentation script also marks when each slide changes, so your words and visuals arrive together.
Rehearse more than once, and record yourself if you can. Even a great script needs a speaker who knows it well. Practice in the clothes you will wear and in a room the same size as the venue if you can, and time yourself so the clock does not surprise you.
Pricing is quoted per project after a free consultation, as a fixed written quote with milestones and no hidden fees. The main drivers are speech length, how much research the topic needs, how many versions you want, the number of revision rounds and how quickly you can give feedback. Our pricing page explains how quotes work.
A short toast and a forty-minute keynote with supporting slides are very different jobs, so the quote reflects the work. The timeline is confirmed in the written quote and depends on length, research and feedback speed. Rush schedules are available for an additional fee, quoted up front, which is helpful when an event date arrives sooner than planned. If you need the speech and the supporting slides or written remarks, we can quote them together, which often saves time.
We sign an NDA before ghostwriting work begins, and we do not discuss your speech outside the team assigned to it. Remarks about layoffs, a diagnosis, a family loss or a pending deal stay private. Drafts are shared only with you, or with the people you name.
You own everything we write for you. Rights transfer on delivery, confirmed in writing at the start of the project, and you can deliver the speech as your own, publish it or adapt it. Please tell us if you want to quote a poem, song or another writer, because permission may be needed. We cannot promise how an audience will respond or what any speech will achieve, since those depend on the room and on you. Plain language helps almost every audience, and the plain language guidelines are a good test for any script.
It depends on length, research and how quickly you give feedback. A short toast is quick, while a keynote takes longer. The timeline is confirmed in your written quote, and rush schedules are available for an additional fee quoted up front.
Most speakers deliver about 120 to 150 words a minute, so ten minutes is roughly 1,200 to 1,500 words. Slower delivery, pauses, slides and audience reactions reduce that figure, and we plan for them.
The occasion, the audience, the time limit and the main points you want to make. Stories, past speeches and a short recorded conversation help us capture how you talk, which makes the draft sound like you.
That is the goal. We listen to how you speak, use your phrases and humor and revise after you read the draft aloud. We keep editing, and there is no pressure to accept a line that feels wrong, until you can say every line without feeling like you are wearing someone else's jacket.
Yes. These are personal, so we ask for your memories and write in a warm, plain voice. You choose what stays in, and we revise gently until it feels right for you and the people listening.
