How You Create

From finding enough space and time in your everyday life to embracing what distracts you and why, our lessons and guides will help you discover joy, delight and surprise in any tale you write.

What You Make

Fiction or not, fantastical tale or true to life, and in any media you like; we’ll work with you from the essentials of world and story down to the individual beats of a scene or a character’s needs.

A Better Life

Do you want your tale to build trust, have an impact, or establish a legacy? Whatever your purpose, we’ll help you stay true to your “why”.

Customer Journey

Craft narratives about who you serve, what you’re worth, and where that helps them arrive.

Who They Are

Are you struggling to put your story to words? Do you have a powerful message but aren’t quite sure if it ‘works’? We’ll help you speak to your customers’ needs, wants and desires first.

What You Provide

At the heart of every tale between a business and customer is the moment where what you create meets what they need—and you can become a destination (or guide) on their journey.

Where We Arrive

Whatever we sell, create or provide is ultimately in service towards a better life: toward meeting both your and your customers’ needs. And giving them the means to pursue what they’d like.

That's Why

at Here Be Tygers, we say #takelifebythetale:

Because if you know who folks are and where they want to arrive, you can give
them precisely what they need, and at the right time.

Meet Your Guide

“We all tell ourselves stories of who we are and why. What we forget is that we have the power to define them.”

Jarod Cerf - STORYTELLER

As a professional journalist, content strategist, coach and writer, I love to tell stories. It’s what I do and how I breathe at night.

But I’m not the only one with a tale to tell: so are you.

That’s why I want to help you with your short stories and novels, your screen and stage plays, your video games, webcomics, and nonfiction texts; the sometimes strange worlds and characters you bring to life.

Because no idea grows from mewling, striped cub to teeth-at-your-throat tiger without a little help, some guidance, and a whole lot of love along the way.

What Others Have To Say

“Working with Jarod was an incredible exercise as I learned to trust him and let him pull from me the story that was so hard to tell. His patience and understanding helped me to complete my book and have it published. He even worked as an editor and found an artist to design the cover.”

DAVE G.

“When I started adding new artistic mediums to my work, the way I expressed my stories changed. Here Be Tygers brought together creators from different backgrounds and asked questions that never would have come to light otherwise.”

KUSA D.

“We weren’t sure what we wanted or needed but he developed our media & marketing plans, improved our FB site, defined the right content, and showed us how to take advantage of the 40+ years of patient thank yous, Dr recommendations and incredible tales from the people we’ve treated.”

Whether we’re buying new clothes, workflow solutions or a movie to stream, they’re all part of the journey that your audience, market or tribe—anyone who sees, hears, feels, or thinks about what you have made—will shape into their own life.
