Overview
I'm a BAFTA-nominated screenwriter, author of three books and experienced writer for film, television and radio. Series writer on Stand Up For The Week (Ch4) and Fake Reaction (ITV2), and in comedy writers rooms for Merman, Working Title Films, Off The Kerb Productions, Tigerlily and Gunpowder and Sky.
I have published three books, a comedy memoir called Cuckoo In The Nest (Hodder and Stoughton, 2010) which was a Sunday Express Book of the Year. I have also written two novels for teenagers; Girl Out Of Water (Walker Books, 2016) which was translated into three languages, published in America by Panmacmillan as Goldfish and longlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book of the Year. The sequel, Lou Out Of Luck (Walker Books, 2018). was nominated for the Bradford Boase award in 2018.
My books have been featured in The Observer, The Daily Mail, Radio 4's Women's Hour and The Guilty Feminist podcast.
My short story, Howling Pack Of Undesirables, was nominated for the Pindrop Studio and Royal Academy of Art short story award.
I am writing thirty five picture books for Playgolf Management, which are being brought to life in a chain of adventure golf courses.
