About

I'm an award-winning scriptwriter from Glasgow, Scotland.

I primarily write drama, comedy drama and genre fiction. I'm currently working on my first stageplay, and I'm also planning to shoot a black comedy short film in the near future.

In the spring of 2015, my script LONG ROAD HOME won Best Short Script at the European Independent Film Festival in Paris. This year, I was selected as a winning writer in Create50's 'The Impact' filmmaking initative. Additionally, I have previously reached the quarterfinals of ScreenCraft's Short Screenplay Contest.
