Script reading & editorial notes

A careful read and clear notes on character, structure, tone, clarity, and momentum. For film, television, short-form work, plays, and books. Five- or ten-page written reports and Zoom discussions are available. Tell me about your project and the level of feedback you need.

What's working. What needs attention. Where to go next.

Sensitivity reading

Feedback on representation, stereotypes and lived experience in scripts and books. A standard sensitivity read focuses on one or two of the areas below, agreed with you before work begins. Let me know what you need.

Female characters

Midlife Experiences

Chronic illness

Working-class stories

ADHD

Childlessness

Podcast & audio support

Practical help taking an audio idea through to a finished, published podcast. Support is available for individual episodes or a full series, from initial setup to editing and release. Tell me where you are with the project and what you’d like help with.

Format & planning

Editing & post-production

Release preparation

Publishing & distribution

Editorial notes on audio scripts sit under script reading.

Writing Commissions & Collaborations

Have a story that needs telling, a project looking for a writer, or an idea that refuses to leave you alone? I’m open to paid writing commissions and creative collaborations across theatre, audio and screen, particularly in comedy and drama.

My work centres on distinctive characters, sharp dialogue and the complications of being human. I can develop an idea with you, work to a brief, or join a project that’s already taking shape.

Get in touch with a little about the project, what you’re looking for, and any budget or timescale you have in mind. We can work out whether we’re a good fit before either of us starts mentally casting the adaptation.

Assistant Production Accountant

Over 25 years of accounting experience.

Recent production finance experience on BBC Comedy.

Freelance assistant production accountant

Experience using Xero, Equals, and Entertainment Partners

Prices available on request. No mysterious pricing rituals involved.

A full price list would need its own contents page, and you may want a little of this and a bit of that. Think pick and mix, with fewer fizzy cola bottles and more script notes.

Tell me what you’re working on and I’ll put together a clear quote for the support you need. You’ll know the cost before committing, with no obligation to go ahead.

(Oh, and newsletter subscribers get first dibs on new offers and discounts.)

START WITH AN ENQUIRY

What are you working on?

Tell me a little about your project and the support you need.

I'll email the details so you can decide in your own time.

No obligation. No pressure.
This is just an enquiry. I’ll email you the details so you can decide in your own time.

Some warnings about me...

I have written multiple plays, podcasts, and scripts, yet still believe the next one will be the one where I finally get everything right. This has not happened yet.

I am Welsh, which comes with an implied sense of humour and a contractual obligation to be self-deprecating. I did not write these terms.

I founded a theatre company before I learned what ‘work-life balance’ meant.
Turns out you
can do everything… but you’ll be tired and powered solely by diet coke and spite.

I am endlessly interested in stories about people who don’t follow the expected path, possibly because I’ve never managed it myself.

I take writing seriously, but not myself.

This feels like the correct balance and I’m sticking with it.

I believe finishing something is an act of optimism, even when the thing itself is messy, flawed, or quietly weird.
