Tell Your Story™
Now is the time to tell your story. I work with people and organisations eliciting and embedding stories that heal, empower and spark change across live, print and digital platforms.
‘Craig Melvin is a vivid and entertaining storyteller, with a real understanding of how to engage readers with a well-crafted yarn. He always cooks up a literary feast.’ Matt Haig
About Me:
I have been a storyteller for twenty years using my Tell Your Story™ method. Clients range from the NHS, Ernst & Young, Starbucks, Roche, Shell, BP, Coutts, RBS, BT, InterContinental Hotels and Oracle to well known TV presenters, entrepreneurs and political figures. My debut book is ‘The Belle Hotel’ - Matt Haig ‘A Great Read’, Gregg Wallace ‘Fantastic Story’, Fay Maschler ‘Takes you to the soul of a restaurant’. Cover by David Shrigley. I have an MA in Creative Writing, ran Custom Publishing at Rough Guides, PenguinRandomHouse, and host ‘The Big Book Group’. I was mentored by editor Nick Sayers who is Stephen King’s UK editor. My book is a novel, cookbook and rough guide all in one. I’m currently writing a detective series for a global publisher. I also ghost-write memoirs for major publishers. In the past two years I have ghost-written over twenty five books for entrepreneurs, tv presenters, charities, travel companies, hospitality legends, medical pioneers, business gurus, former captains of industry and reformed criminals. I also create tiptop podcasts for brands and people.
