Melbourne, Australia 1982. I submit my first "screenplay" (and I use the term very loosely) to the BBC. It was a hugely expensive Doctor Who saga. Needless to say, it wasn't picked up. You can read all about it here.

Now, I’ve been advised that the above is not the way to sell myself as serious writer. I’m not sure why. The fact that any screenwriters’ first screenplay doesn’t sell is, I would’ve thought, to be expected and so not something anyone should hide.

Nor is the fact that I’ve been writing screenplays (off and on) for forty years, something to be shy about. During that time I had my paying job (graphic designer and advertising art director) distracting me, but over those years I never lost interest in screenwriting.

And so, when I could, I would study and write. Learning, unlearning and learning again, over and over, until I finally became confident in my abilities as a screenwriter.

It has only been in the last couple of years that I’ve been able to devote myself to screenwriting as a profession. Currently (February 2022) I have three feature-length screenplays available, with another three due to be completed this year. 

Plus, with forty years behind me, it means I have at least another dozen concepts at various stages, waiting to be written. Most of them sci-fi, fantasy and/or horror.

I hope you find something you’re interested in and look forward to having the opportunity of working with you in the future.
