JD Savage

I'm a produced and optioned screenwriter, traditionally published author, comic writer and journalist.

My previous projects include co-writing the BAFTA winning kids' TV series Ripley and Scuff for ITV and writing/editing ITV's BAFTA nominated movie website Popcorn. I've scripted TV shows and video specials for popular British children's characters and had an original live-action kids' sitcom optioned (and renewed twice).

More recently: my animation pilot was chosen to be performed by voice actors at 2021's UK Children's Media Conference. I had a script optioned by Lost Eye Films for a TV horror/fantasy anthology series. An early draft of my horror movie screenplay Cloudhouse placed Top 10% in PAGE International and is now under option.

I've also written for BBC, Creature Media, Marvel Comics (UK), Gullane Entertainment Inc, Pickatale and many others across various media. That includes lots of high-profile licensed material, short fiction, comics, movie journalism & interviews. I've had several kids books published by Oxford University Press, two in graphic novel format, with more out soon. I'm currently completing fiction projects and writing for magazines.

With a passion for scriptwriting, I'm a big movie buff with omnivorous, genre-spanning tastes. I especially love those boutique Blu-ray labels and my subscription to MUBI.
