Bio

Hi. I’m Jonathan. I’m 35, and I hail from the rain-drenched north of England – I can’t say I miss it much. I’ve lived in Prague for the last eight years, where I first worked as a teacher and then Head of English at a major language school.

Even when teaching, writing was always my real passion in life – I wrote stories, joined a writers group, performed stand-up comedy and even co-wrote a play that was staged for six nights at La Fabrika in Prague.

But it wasn’t enough – I wanted to commit my life to nurturing and developing a skill I’d always had. And so I moved into a full-time writing career. I read every book there was to read, took every course there was to take, and became a copy editor at an international magazine, then Creative Engagement Editor at Embibe, and most recently a Senior Copywriter at GAMEE, a Prague-based gaming studio.

And I love it. At GAMEE, I’ve helped to build a brand that now boasts 2.7M app downloads and is the world’s largest gaming platform on Telegram with over 50M members. I’m not saying that was all me – I wish! – but as the only writer in the company, I sure played my part.

Now I’m looking for freshly-squeezed challenges, all-new audiences, and the opportunity to put my skills and creativity to use. I’m hoping that you – yes, you, lovely anonymous person who is reading this – can offer that.

While I love the gaming industry, I am willing to delve into any niche and learn the audience and demographics in detail.

If you may have an opportunity for me, please check out my portfolio and then head on over to the Contact page to get in touch.

Theatre

I co-wrote an adaptation of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables as a stageplay. It enjoyed six successful sell-out shows at La Fabrika theatre in Prague. I am now working on an original play to be staged in 2025.

Comedy

I have written and performed a number of stand-up comedy shows in Prague and elsewhere around Europe. I have also hosted Prague’s Comedy Cellar gig on many occasions.
