About Sketches & Storytelling

I help people turn ideas into narratives – bringing stories to life, one page at a time.

Some might say that the world we live in is saturated with stories, but I say we don’t have enough. Someone much smarter than me could work out how many stories have been told, but how many untold stories are there – or were there?

How many stories never see the light of day simply because those who held on to them didn’t have the tools or resources to bring them to life?

Storytelling is an age-old practice that has resonated with individuals across cultures and generations. It’s an art form considered a natural birthright of humans. Still, sometimes, it can be difficult to unlock one’s inner storyteller. 

At Sketches & Storytelling, I go beyond the traditional narrative-sharing experience – offering guidance, resources and techniques to help bring your stories to life.

Bring Your Stories to Life.

I offer a custom art and illustration service to help bring your stories to life visually, be it a folk tale, an ancestral legend or a memory – I’ll work closely with you to capture the true essence of your story through bespoke illustration.

Whether you need book cover art, character designs, book illustrations, storyboards, or concept art – my custom art and illustration service ensures your story receives the visual representation it deserves.

Who Is JGlover?

My Story (in brief)…

Once upon a ti— 

I’m J Glover – a storyteller by day, and a storyteller by night. Well, only since I was fortunate enough to make a career change that took me from crafting recipes and cooking upwards of 100 dishes per day in extreme heat to crafting content and marketing strategy from the comfort of my home office.

In my spare time (if such a thing exists) I combine my love of storytelling with my understanding of story structure, character development and narrative techniques. 

I draw from extensive experience across various mediums to share practical insights and bring stories to life.

Stories are around us everywhere all the time, and I love capturing them.

Whether it’s books, movies, art, history or the rambled memoirs of older generations, I’ve been living and breathing stories since I could understand language – just like you!
