About me
Having studied English Literature and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, I have a passion for storytelling. Whilst I have written poetry and prose, scriptwriting is the format that I most enjoy working with. My time at UEA gave me a clear understanding of the script writing format and has given me both the desire and confidence to continue my writing development.

    English Literature and Creative Writing BA (Hons) 2:1University of East Anglia
     - Norwich, United Kingdom
    The course helped me develop my craft as a writer, under the supervision of world-renowned novelists, poets and playwrights whilst also receiving first-class literature teaching. I studied prose, poetry and scriptwriting at university, before settling on scriptwriting as my preferred medium. I was able to work independently on several script projects. Whilst being encouraged to be as creative as possible, it was through having a strong understanding of script structure and an ability to accept criticism as a means to improve my work which ultimately led to my most successful projects. Norwich was a wonderful place to write - it's England's first UNESCO City of Literature, awarded in recognition of the city's vivid literary heritage and vibrant contemporary writing scene.
