Insurance Underwriter by day, screenwriter by night! (Or whenever I can find the time) I'm based in the South East of England, play football for a womens team, and have a passion for all things horror.
I had been writing as a hobby for many years and finally decided to do something about it in 2012. I went to London's Central Film School and earned my diploma in screenwriting.
My feature script 'Mind Games' was recently selected as a finalist for 13Horror.com Film & Screenplay Contest 2018 which is very exciting. Their feedback was really helpful.
'For what seemed in danger of being just another bunch-of- friends-away-getting-picked-off-one-by-one screenplay, there were actually lots of nice elements and twists which separate it from the herd. At times, particularly towards the last third, the actions/descriptions seemed to cross over from screenwriting to a more novel-writing style, but it is well paced up to a delightfully gory ending. It has a Wicker Man meets Eden Lake feel to it, which can only be a good thing for a horror screenplay.' - Judge AH 13Horror.com
My feature script 'Nineteen' has won an Honorable Mention Award in The 2019 International Horror Hotel's script competition. What this means is that although it did not place in the Top 4 in its category, it still scored high enough to receive an award.
'Nineteen' is also an official selection in the July 2019 Rome Independent Prisma Awards, now in contention to place higher.
'Smile' a short script was recently given some very good feedback by the Sunday Shorts Film Festival and was given a Semi-Finalist status in the end.
