The Writer: Steve Mallinson
After a long career in telecoms and the not-for-profit sector, I transitioned to screenwriting to tell an incredible true story I discovered. I wrote the entire first season of a period drama series, and have since had a contemporary feature optioned. Additionally, I’ve completed the pilot for another mini-series and trying my hand at shorts. Interested? Please get in touch! Go to bio
