Gareth Dowson

Stafford, United Kingdom

Novelist and script writer. One 6-part police drama. One tv pilot. Eleven films from small to mega budgets. Have upped my game with new editing skills thanks to David Mamet's On Directing. Have had diverse life in acting, nursing, policing, army, schools and nurseries. Destroyed two earliest novels due to their embarrassing awfulness. [Sadly, still have my excruciatingly bad poetry, oh god!] Feel very confident in professional career when I compare old works to new. Constant flux of change. I write film reviews on garethdowson.substack.com where my latest sci-fi novels and groundbreaking novelette are ready to go!
