The Writer: Rachel Brewer

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... Go to bio
