About

I’m a cinematic screenwriter based in Nottingham with over a decade of experience developing original screenplays and episodic scripts. I thrive in genre storytelling, grounding ideas in strong character arcs, solid structure, and authentic tone, while collaborating closely with directors, producers, and fellow writers to realize a shared creative vision.

I’m passionate about genre storytelling across horror, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy, and noir, and I love shaping stories that resonate with audiences. My work spans feature films, television, and short-form pieces, and I’m always eager to mentor, learn, and grow within creative teams.
