Writing
Children's
I wrote the first five titles of the award-winning Ladybird Audio Adventures series for Ladybird/Penguin Random House - a narrative non-fiction audio series that introduced young learners to some fascinating facts about the world around them! The series won the prestigious Futurebook of the Year award 2019, and was shortlisted for Best Children's Audiobook at the New York Festival Radio Awards in 2020.
I've also written extensively for children's theatre, writing performances and stories both for children to perform and for audiences of children.
I've written for Storycake TV, and have performed stand-up comedy for Comedy Club 4 Kids.
You can check out a sample of one of my scripts for children below. It was originally written for a performance by 6-8 year olds. Here, I've taken Shakespeare's Macbeth and made the play more accessible, fun and humorous for kids!
Theatre
I've always had a passion for writing for live performance.
I have a number of scripts, ranging from family-friendly shows to adult comedies, which I would be delighted to share with you!
My theatre writing credits include the Comedy Hijack project for Big Telly Theatre Company, The Grate Cheese Extravaganza for Stuffed Suitcase, and A Christmas Carol for Creation Theatre Company.
In 2024, I was selected as one of the writers to take part in the Stage Write Playwright Development Programme at the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool. It was a fantastic experience, and an extract from my play will be performed at the theatre in 2025.
Education
Oxford University Press have published my adaptation of A Christmas Carol, for use in schools. The script has been specially reworked with schools in mind, and is suitable for performance or for study in the classroom.
I have also written a number of supplementary educational materials and stories for students learning English as a foreign language for Oxford University Press. Most recently, I wrote a series of fun stories for their flagship primary-level course, Bright Ideas.
Having delivered many theatre and literacy workshops for students ranging from pre-primary to A-level, I am confident that I can write fun stories and activities for native speakers or foreign language students.
