I would say I have been writing stories in one form or another all my life, including starting my own amateur drama group at aged twenty and later on heading up a Theatre in Education company that performed in many schools in the north east of England. Later in life I graduated from 'The Northern Film School,' Leeds, UK where I studied for a MA in Screenwriting for Television & Film. In the past I have been supported by 'The UK Film Council,' 'Northern Film & Media,' 'Film Four' and have had five screenplays previously optioned by UK production companies.
