About me
UK based screenwriter focused on feature scripts in the genres of horror, thriller, sci-fi and urban drama. I am a four time international screenplay competition winner for screenplays Red Mist and Headshot. I have written produced two short films, one currently in competition and one in post production.As well as writing screenplays, I am a Visiting Lecturer in Screenwriting at the University of Leeds, Screenwriting Mentor at the Oakwood Film Academy and work as a Marketing Consultant.
I have written scripts for corporate films, commercial radio and TV in roles at McCann-Erickson, WWAV North and Outsmart, as well as music videos and short films. I recently co-edited the bid for Leeds to become the European Capital of Culture in 2023.
In 2019 I graduated from Salford University, based at MediaCity at Salford Quays with an MA TV and Radio Scriptwriting. I graduated with a distinction, and was awarded best student on the course and the best Postgraduate award for the school of Art and Media.
I am currently available as a screenwriter for hire for consultancy, redrafts, co-writing and polishes and production prep.
