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.
I recently had my first short script - Lily's New Friend - optioned and I've seen a version of the film which is really exciting! This has also provided me with my first professional IMDb credit.
I also have two feature screenplays - He's Waiting and mind Games - available on Amazon in paperback and in the kindle store.

He's Waiting has received an Honourable Mention award at the July 2019 Florence Film Festival. (https://florencefilmawards.com/july-2019)
Mind Games was also selected as a finalist for 13Horror.com Film & Screenplay Contest 2018 which was 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
He's Waiting was selected as a finalist for 13Horror.com Film & Screenplay Contest 2019.
As with your other work that we’ve seen previously, you have a skill of taking an established horror trope and adding some very entertaining and original spins to them. Judge – AH 13Horror.com
