WRITING
SCRIPT WRITING
I love storytelling and writing is one of the best, and most important, parts. I am always working on something, either solo or in collaboration. Right now I'm working on a few projects such as; a one woman theatre show, several short films and a full length feature film. Who knows, maybe there's a novel in me too somewhere!
It has been great to have had 2 short film scripts shortlisted for the CentreFrame GET IT MADE competition in both 2022 & 2024, and I always look forward to giving more of my work a voice and bringing all my ideas to life.

SCRIPT COVERAGE
With a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Media Studies, I started script editing with Lift Off Global Network for their screenplay submissions. As head script judge and content writer for their team, it was an amazing experience to read hundreds of submissions from so many talented writers from all over the world and be exposed to different styles, concepts and stages of development. Having also worked as an actor, producer and director it gives me a great advantage to look at a script from other angles.
I can help writers with:
-
structure
-
format
-
character development
-
dialogue
-
pacing
-
storytelling
-
writer's block
-
script development
-
titles
-
marketability and more...
Sometimes all you need is another pair of eyes!!
Some films I helped with:
Will (2022) short film - official selection at the Catalina Film Festival
Tip of My Tongue (2022) short documentary - raising awareness of aphasia funded by bacs.org.uk

Much to my surprise, I've miraculously managed to self-publish an exercise book for actors - drawing from all the workshops, experiences, lessons I've learned and people I've talked to on my journey in this crazy industry. Tested and approved by acting coaches and working actors. Directors might want to give it a look over too.
