Writer. Mentor. Strategist. Performer. Human.
Hi, I’m Warren Goldie. I help people tell stories that matter — whether that’s a business seeking clarity, a writer finishing her novel, or a seeker searching for meaning. My path has wound through Hollywood, high-tech boardrooms, indie publishing, spiritual awakening, and live storytelling. And through it all, one thing has remained constant: I believe in the transformative power of story.
My path has never been linear.
I earned a B.S. degree in biological science while taking software development courses. I worked as a developer, then an instructor, and then a technical copywriter. I shifted into Hollywood, where I was a screenplay analyst and a ghostwriter — including for Steven Spielberg as managing editor at the Shoah Foundation, helping preserve the stories of Holocaust survivors (including my mother’s). Those years changed me. I learned that stories aren’t just entertainment — they’re survival, identity, and healing.
I work often in the business world. I’ve written for clients across the globe in sectors like SaaS, EdTech, health, sustainability, and more. I’ve led brand strategy, content creation, and messaging for everyone from IBM and the Omega Insitute for Holistic Studies to bootstrapped startups. My corporate role has often been as a senior marcom manager. I know how to find the human core in even the most technical story.

And all along, I’ve kept writing from the soul.
Creative work that comes from the inside out
I’m the author of the visionary novel Waking Maya (a Kirkus “Get It” pick), essays, plays, short stories, and the forthcoming memoir Be Your Best Depressed Self, a humorous take on life in the modern world. My stage play, Warsaw, about inherited trauma and cultural memory, is based on my family history. My essays have appeared in journals like The Taoist Online, Scrittura, and The Howling Owl.
My creative writing draws from my life as the son of a war refugee, a lifelong spiritual explorer, and a person who has wrestled with high sensitivity and depression — and found light on the other side.
A consciousness-based approach to creativity
As a writer, teacher, and mentor, I guide people through a process of creative integration — how to use your life experience, challenges, and insight as fuel for something meaningful.
Whether I’m coaching a novelist, helping a founder find their authentic voice, or standing onstage performing a comic monologue about existential dread, I’m always working from the same place:
Presence. Truth. Craft. And soul.
Who I work with
- Businesses that want clean, emotionally intelligent messaging
- Writers & creatives looking for structure, feedback, or publishing support
- Spiritual seekers who feel a book inside them but don’t know where to start
- Audiences who want to laugh, cry, and feel something real
If you’re ready to tell your story — or just figure out what it is — I’d love to help.
“Warren’s skills are strong, deep, and diverse. I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing his creativity as novelist, playwright, short story author, feature writer, and creator of business and marketing copy – all of it crisp, well-crafted and compelling.” Thom Krystofiak, author of Tempted to Believe.
