Alex McCombie

I’m a screenwriter and narrative writer with over ten years’ experience working across film, TV, music, journalism, and digital-first content. I specialise in writing clear, engaging scripts that make complex ideas accessible, human, and entertaining for modern audiences — particularly on YouTube. Creatively, I’ve written original screenplays across short-form and episodic formats, including a short film (Thumbs Up, 2014) selected by university lecturers for professional performance, and a 30-minute comedy series (CHIX, 2025), showcasing humour-driven, character-led storytelling for younger audiences. Professionally, I’ve produced high-volume, research-led writing in commercial roles, contributing to an online training portal used by 26% of UK driving instructors, and adapting technical language for specialist audiences in European engineering and construction recruitment. I’m comfortable researching topics in depth, reverse-engineering a creator’s tone and pacing, and writing conversational scripts optimised for retention. Fluent in Final Draft, familiar with SEO and YouTube analytics, and always happy to complete test scripts to ensure the voice is right.
