Dorothy de kok – Editor

Award-winning screenwriter who loves the written word even more than film.

Overview

I'm a multi-award-winning screenwriter and avid reader, writer and film freak. Furthermore, I have edited thousands of academic articles and dissertations, and many books for a traditional publisher. But fiction is my first love, and I have a sound understanding of structure, plot, theme and character, which I gained primarily through studying screenwriting and writing screenplays.

Most importantly, I am brilliant with babies . . . and your baby is safe in my hands :-)
