Professional Goal To be a working screenwriter with representation. 

Artistic Goal I want to write to the best of my ability, to find my limits and reach beyond them. I want to write the best commercial screenplays I can, because I believe "commercial" is one key test of "universal", in that commercial is the acid test of how far your work reaches people and connects with them. I hope to master the "Hollywood" storytelling format.

Backstory Formerly an English teacher after leaving the entertainments biz, I've traveled a lot and lived in Spain for ten years, where I got into Spanish cinema. I've been a movie junkie all my life and also like the old Ealing comedies, European and South American cinema, comedy classics and Hollywood greats. Before scriptwriting and fiction, I've done copywriting, web content, corporate and consumer stuff, professional social media, training manuals and online classes and magazine articles. You name it, I've written it. Qualifications: University of Reading (UOR), UK, BSc IT and Open University, Technology.

 Location Based in Totnes (near Exeter), Devon, UK.
