I need to add more laurels to this page! I've now placed in more for my dystopian feature, 'Seahorse', including as a 2nd rounder in the Austin Film Festival and a Top 50 Finalist in the ISA Fast Track Fellowship. That said, I rarely enter contests these days. I'm too busy running my own.

I set up networking group Scriptwriters & Co in 2019, to unite writers and affiliates across the performing arts. We now have thousands of members from all over the world and run an international scriptwriting festival.

Some history. At eight, I started adapting books into plays and, after university (BA Hons: Theology and Philosophy), worked as an actor/writer, often devising scripts as well as performing. Then I did a stint of playwriting at the Tricycle Theatre in London, tutored by award-winning playwright Bonnie Greer. Now I have a Master's in Scriptwriting for Screen, Stage and Audio, so if you want me to write a beautifully, crafted professional script for you, you'll be in safe hands. Alternatively, I can provide notes, or lick your own script into shape.

And if you're a producer or director, I'd love to talk. My agent is Joan Lane at Wild Thyme Productions Ltd.

Comps: The Handmaid's Tale; Children of Men; Brave New World. In 2111, an illegally pregnant woman fights to restore natural balance in a world where females govern and males must gestate all foetuses.
