I’m a freelance script writer for hire
Playwright, screenwriter, conceptual copywriter, or speechwriter. I’m a storyteller.
I grew up in Stoke on Trent
I moved to London at sixteen to study at The BRIT School then won a scholarship to Guildford School of Acting where I discovered I could be a writer. After that, I honed my skills through invited writers' programs at Royal Court, Soho, Bush, and Arcola. Hustling to promote my work, I mastered digital and social media, eventually realising I could offer writing services professionally.
Curiosity for new ways to tell stories combined with storytelling training defines my approach.
In my original projects, I often explore the working class and LGBTQ+ experience. Themes I return to include mental illness, addiction, and trauma. I like to research political challenges that make me angry or philosophical topics that make my mind boggle, and then try and ground them in human realities. Alongside writing, I perform, including long-form improvised comedy and solo performance. I also make music and visual art, which enrich my work with a unique perspective.
Highlights and recognition.
“Tree Shall Not Be Moved” for Sky Comedy, at Birmingham Rep Theatre, "Crush Hour," an acclaimed Audible Original series featured as a podcast of the week in The Guardian and Sunday Times Culture. My debut solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in collaboration with Oxford Playhouse and Pleasance Futures. My original comedy pilot "FAIRIES" was selected for the BAFTA Rocliffe forum, and I was a finalist for the Mercury Weinberger Playwriting Prize.
