What does a scriptwriter do?
I work in the language of ideas. A story that doesn’t land is a missed opportunity. A script is an intentional sequence of moments, designed to move its audience. If that script lacks story structure, clarity, or rhythm, it won’t connect with its audience. That’s why I love what I do. I shape scripts that keep people watching, laughing, and feeling.

How it works
Discover
We’ll book in a call to explore, expand, and let the idea breathe. We dig into the world of the story, unearthing its characters, themes, and hidden gems. It’s about asking big questions, embracing possibilities, and making sure the heart of the piece is beating strong before we start shaping it. We need to be specific about the brief so we can ensure we’re meeting it at every step of the process.
Define
This is where the script starts to take shape. I give the idea structure, sculpt the story’s spine, map its beats, and sharpen its intent. This stage is about clarity, refining the concept into something strong, coherent, and ready to take shape in script form. Every choice is purposeful, every moment has weight. This process ends with the first draft, and a call to discuss the next steps.
Refine
Based on feedback from the first draft, we road-test dialogue, fine-tune rhythm, and make tough calls about what stays and what goes. My services come with two rounds of tweaks as standard, ensuring the script is tight, compelling, and production or rehearsal-ready.

When you want to hire a scriptwriter
Finding the right person takes time and effort. You need someone who understands structure, storytelling, and what makes a script land. I know how important it is to get it right - not just on the page, but how it feels, flows, and connects with an audience. That’s why I only ever work on a select number of scriptwriting projects at any given time, because I like to provide them with the time and creative space in my mind that they need. If what you’ve seen here resonates with you, or if you have any questions, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s have a conversation, see if we have that creative chemistry, and figure out what your project needs.
Frequently asked questions
-
A screenplay writer develops scripts for projects that are ultimately meant for the screen. At its core, their job is to translate story, character, and action into a cinematic format—crafting dialogue, structuring scenes, and shaping the flow of a narrative. They might work from an existing story or develop something original, ensuring that characters are built through action that works visually. Beyond the script itself, a screenplay writer is often involved in developing treatments, pitch decks, and story bibles to help bring a project to life.
-
My personal sweet spot is work that asks, is that tragically sad or really funny? I love to imbue scripted projects with rich characters, authentic dialogue, and intelligent story development and structure. That’s true whether you want pure comedy, stand-alone drama, or that magic that happens when you blur the line between the two. In my experience, though, no genre of film wouldn’t benefit from strong story structure, and characters being rooted in their humanity and humour. So, if your project intrigues me, it’s likely I will want to help you write it as well as it can be written.
-
I provide bespoke learning options to support where you’re currently at with your scriptwriting process. That includes script consultancy, coaching, and a bespoke training offering that I have a limited number of places on. The best way to find out more is to drop me a message and let me know where you’re at, and we can talk about how I can help you.
