Astronomy and physics script writer for YouTube and science documentaries

Do you want cutting-edge astronomy and physics explained in a crystal clear script for your YouTube channel or documentaries?

As an award-winning writer of popular science books, I have years of experience in science communication and engagement. You’ll get an impeccably researched script that’s both engaging and accessible, complete with poetic language and vivid imagery. As you’ll see in the video below, which I scripted for the YouTube channel The History of The Universe, I’m also a big fan of bringing the science to life through telling the stories of the people behind the research.

About me

I’m a multi-award-winning astronomy author and speaker. My twenty books have sold more than 400,000 copies worldwide and been translated into 23 languages. Plus I’ve written over 200 popular science articles for publications including Sky & Telescope, space.com, New Scientist and The Wall Street Journal. I also write the monthly Absolute Beginners column for Astronomy Now magazine.

As well as writing a book with the astronaut Tim Peake, I’ve won The Margaret Mallett Award and the AAS Solar Physics Popular Media award. A Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, I’ve appeared on BBC News, Sky News and Radio 5Live. I’m also lucky enough to have had the asteroid (15347) Colinstuart named after me.
