SYRIS'S JOURNEY INTO STORYTELLING:

An avid writer and reader his entire life, it took Syris 22 years to understand he had a gift with the written word. At that time, he had submitted a written document to the Pentagon requesting early separation from the US Air Force. Reading his 30+ page packet, the Secretary of Defense was moved by his words. Due to a change in personal beliefs about the use of violence to resolve conflict, Syris was honorably discharged after 4 years of service. It was at this time that Syris fully realized the power of the written word and its ability to shift, determine, and create our reality. 

​

Pursuing a mastery of writing, he first learned professional screenwriting at the esteemed UCLA Writers Extension program. Simultaneously, he became a salaried copywriter. Combining a comprehensive grasp on the structure of fiction and copywriting, he began to write/edit nonfiction books. Quickly building a reputation as a savant of the craft, Syris became a guide for renowned leaders as well as everyday humans, helping tell their stories and distribute their wisdom. 

​

In July of 2024, Syris's first authored book will be published after spending the last few years co-writing 10+ books with others. In addition to being a sought-after editor working closely with Penguin/Hay House, Wiley, BenBella, and other publishers, he is well-versed in the self-publishing process. He also helps prospective authors write compelling book proposals yielding six-figure advances.

Syris has devoted his life to the art of storytelling, having universal proficiency writing/editing fiction, nonfiction, and movie scripts, specializing in memoirs, business/leadership, and spirituality. He’s also an actor and film producer living and working in Los Angeles, CA.
