Testimonials
“I’ve worked with Murphy for many years; he’s the secret weapon to any writer’s room. He gets along with everybody because he’s a fountain of creative ideas and has a delightful way of disagreeing agreeably – so you always know where you stand with him, and you’ll LOVE hearing his Liverpudlian view. And his writing? That’s sharp AF. Hire this guy NOW before his rates skyrocket out of your reach.”
– Brooks Elms, WGA Screenwriter
“Working with Murphy is the reason I am a writer today.
As writers we spend a lot of our time doing anything but. We plan, we analyse, we worry and we hold back. It’s exhausting, it’s joyless and it almost drove me to quit altogether.
Working with Murphy is beautifully uncomplicated, because all he focuses on is the writing. With his support, going back to just writing the thing one word at a time, I’ve found a clarity and an ease that fills me with energy and allows me to create with freedom – and be confident in what I’ve created.
If what you want to do is write, work with Murphy.”
– Harry McMullen, Professional Actor, Playwright and Screenwriter
“[With Cheet] Murphy has captured lightning in a bottle.”
– Roni Keller, Screenwriter
