Available to hire
I’m Sally Heron, a former journalist turned leading light-entertainment and factual TV producer. I specialize in crafting punchy scripts and on-air segments; researching, writing and editing factual content - particularly for prime-time quiz and game shows; plus shaping on-air talent and steering large-scale projects from concept to delivery. I’m driven by deadlines, budgets, credible sources, factual clarity and accuracy and client needs.
My specialty is transforming often dry, long-winded and complex source material into accessible and engaging moments across myriad platforms. I’m passionate about storytelling that informs, entertains, and inspires audiences - and sticking to credible sources and facts.
