I work consistently as a professional scriptwriter for stage, TV & radio. I’m also a lyricist and children’s author. So I am always working on varied commissions alongside my part-time University work.
I’m currently Writer-in-Residence for the inclusive APT Dance and Theatre Company. I’m also working with Cheltenham Literature Festival. I’m a member of the Writers’ Guild TV Committee, and the Everyman Theatre Association.
