I offer written script notes, live feedback sessions, coaching, workshops and classes. I also do in person work with screenwriters, playwrights, theatre makers, devising companies and once even a Circus.

If you’re looking for an experienced and supportive outside eye to help you with all and any aspects of storytelling then I just might be who you’re looking for.

Check out some of the options below and please feel free to email with enquiries.

I also have a whole section of free resources for playwrights, screenwriters and anyone interested in leaning more about the world of writing. The free stuff is at the bottom of this page.

I’ve been a professional scriptwriter for about 15 years which means I know how hard it is to write, how brave it is to share work and how incredibly nerve wracking it can be to get feedback! I know what it’s like to get the frustrating notes when someone hasn’t taken the time to properly engage with your work, the brutal notes that make you never want to write again and the incredible notes that send you off on a cloud so excited to write the next draft. Those incredible notes are what I always aim to give.

I want to:

1) Understand your vision for what you want to make.

2) Foster a supportive, compassionate environment where you feel safe to share and explore that work .

3) Provide you with all the tools and suggestions I can to help you realise your work and showcase it in the best way possible.

I’ve worked with established writers but also taught beginners of all ages and was a professional lecturer in Scriptwriting at the University of the West of England. So wherever you are in your writing journey, I’m confident I can help.

‘Dramaturgy’ is a term more commonly used in theatre than in other media and it basically means being a consultant for a show. It’s a cool job but I wish there were a better name for it than ‘dramaturg’… honestly.

Dramaturgy can be reading a script and giving notes one-on-one with a playwright or director or it could be working with an entire company in a rehearsal room. Some artists like to work with a dramaturg in the very early stages during R&D whilst others might bring a dramaturg in because they’re stuck or want some feedback. 

I was dramaturg for The Wardrobe Ensemble on their Fringe First and Stage Award winning shows Education, Education, Education and The Last of the Pelican Daughters. Most recently I worked with The Sexual Health Circus and Theatre West.  

I have over 15 years of experience in leading workshops and classes in creative writing, script writing, story telling and drama. I’ve worked with participants from 5 years old to adults in evening classes, uni students and professional artists.

I’ve delivered workshops for Theatre503, Papatango, Graeae, Theatre Royal Plymouth, Theatre Royal Bath, The Bolton Octagon, DownStage Write, Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, the University of the West of England, the University of Bath, Shakespeare Schools Festival & the Regional Young Theatre Directors’ Programme and many more.
