Answer 1

I love working as writer and I have written on a fairly wide range of drama for the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, everything from the medic shows like "Where The Heart Is" and "Holby" to Comedy Drama such as "Paradise Heights" and "the Last Detective'. Like most creative people I would hate to find myself pigeonholed. At the moment I am writing a Rom -com, a Comedy-Horror and researching a big historical drama. No fear of being pigeon holed just yet. I've also written and directed four short films and a feature film, which was completed this year and has me hungering for more.

Answer 2

As a kid I learnt to write late, so to amuse myself I actually wrote scripts as early as fifteen because I could only write the way I talked. I still have trouble writing letters because they’re just too chatty. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven when email and I.M came in. My first script as a kid was about a Welsh Village called QuayTyllch – a name I made up - where everyone just died horrible deaths. Morbid stuff, but my brother read it and wet himself, the first and only time in his life I’ve made him laugh. The serious writing started at drama school in Manchester where Willy Russell and Dave Simpson were resident writers. Dave got my first radio play on and Willy commissioned a half hour script from me called “Teaching Matthew” (a mickey take of Educating Rita) which we did for BBC schools.. . .. . seven years later. So you might say I was lucky.

Answer 3

I don’t really have a writing background,but a hobby that I’ve chosen to focus on about three years ago. My degree is in Biology and my career paths have been in Science teaching (Australia) and Financial Services Management (in the UK). In my youth I’ve written plays that were performed in outback NSW, produced articles and edited a corporate magazine. I also was on the fringe of writing for DC comics with a character I dreamed up however both I and the editor moved on before it went anywhere. I did manage to visit both Marvel and DC offices in New York and discuss story lines with various editors. It was one of those What If scenarios. I chose a more profitable steady paid job in the end. Since deciding to follow my dream of being published in 2012, I’ve concentrated of short stories for the Womag market (Women’s magazines) as well as some children’s stories. I write across most genres; romance, humour, fantasy, crime, ghost/supernatural, science fiction (without the space ships), dramas, heart-warmers, thrillers, twists and probably a few others. My active list at the moment include some light, fluffy Womag stories about dating, lost loves, teenage drama, as well as a children’s adventure where a girl goes into the Dreamworld to prevent a disaster in the real world. My main focus today is a compilation story called When Gravity Went Wild using the same characters in a follow up science fiction/adventure/thriller/crime to a story I’ve just sold called The Vanishing. At this point I’d thank Catkin on WW for the throw away idea of this story and the support and encouragement of other Women’s Fiction members and FFD members. I owe a lot to WW members.
