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.”
