How I can help you adapt your novel into a screenplay

I helped develop Simon Beckett’s popular crime novels, The Chemistry of Death and Written in Bone into a successful Television drama series for Paramount+. I understand how important it is to capture the essence of a novel whilst letting it stand as a distinctive piece of drama in its own right.

In my six month book to screen development service, we will bring your vision to life. We will craft a feature screenplay or a TV drama pilot so that you have a script that becomes your calling card.

Three to six month script development to make your TV drama pilot a success

This is for the writer who has the script and is now ready to take a deeper dive into their work with a professional script consultant. Whether it’s a three month or six month development service, I will provide comprehensive written feedback on each draft of your script so we can make it the best it can be.

This script editing service is ideal for writers who are working towards the goal of entering industry script competitions, and sharing projects with producers and agents.

One off script reading with professional script coverage

It’s time to take the script out of your bottom drawer and let someone read it.

This service is more than just a general script report. I will provide clear, comprehensive feedback on your script and present it to you as I would working with a writer in the Film & TV industry. You will receive detailed, actionable written notes with ideas and suggestions on how to progress your next draft.

"Don’t wait for permission
to write the story
you’re burning to tell.”
