For writers
I've spent ten years inside UK film and television — in development, production, and financing. That means I bring practical knowledge of what gets made, what gets financed, and what reaches an audience, alongside genuine close reading of the page.
Get in touchWhat I offer
I work across features, shorts, and television — at any stage of development, from early draft to late-stage polish. My approach combines structural rigour with dramaturgical thinking: I'm interested in what a script is trying to do, not just whether it follows convention.
A detailed written response to your script — structure, character, tone, voice, and commercial context. Honest and specific. Useful whether you're developing independently or preparing to submit to producers or funding bodies.
Sustained engagement across multiple drafts. I read each version carefully and give notes that build on what we've already discussed — tracking progress, identifying what's working, and helping you find what isn't yet.
A conversation rather than a document. Useful when a project is at an early conceptual stage and you need a thinking partner rather than a set of notes — someone to test ideas against, trace structural logic with, and challenge assumptions.
Drawing on my production and financing background, I can offer perspective on how a project might be packaged, positioned, or pitched — alongside the creative editorial work.
Background
I work in UK independent film — across development, production, and the financing structures that hold those together. I understand the commercial pressures that shape what gets made, and I think that understanding makes for better editorial work, not worse.
My MA in French Literature means I also bring a grounding in narrative theory, close reading, and the European theatrical tradition — which informs how I think about dramaturgy in particular.
"Good script notes help a writer see what their script is already trying to be — and give them the tools to get there."
Get in touch
Whether you have a finished draft or a half-formed idea, I'm happy to hear about it. Drop me a note with a brief description of your project and where you're at, and I'll come back to you within 48 hours.
