I’m quite gratified, taken aback & humbled by the response my feature script has received in 2023.
Here’s looking forward to an exciting 2024.
Now, if there’s an enterprising exec producer out there who fancies bring this piece to life on the screen, I wouldn’t object.
Thrilled to announce that my feature script ‘Leave A Light On’ has been named a shortlisted finalist in the inaugural Mediterranean Screen Arts Academy screenwriting competition.
Top 21 from over 1,100 entries!
Huge congrats to all, but especially to winner, Mary Craven Adams.
@rrreadsbooks Depends what you’re into. Just finished Pluribus – compellingly original. Currently late to the party with watching Shogun, which is both beautiful and tragic. Love it!
Your screenplay makes a promise, both in the logline and by the end of Act 1.
Tomorrow, I'll share with 10,000 subscribers why keeping that promise is so important.

@pennpaperplanes Amen, Amanda.
The past 18 months, I’ve just focused on this. Nothing else.
Feel like I’ve turned a corner. My writing has clicked. And still so much to learn and improvements to make!
Writing is both an art and a craft – development is iterative, not immediate.
Developing a new feature script: Leave a Light On – a psychological road-movie through a ravaged Britain. Strong early feedback. Open to producer chats re: BFI Early Development Fund. Poster below. DMs open.

@CindyBegel Great question! I’m sure there are many: Ridley Scott, Peter Nowalk, Joe Barton & Brett Goldstein spring to mind. John Green & Philip Pullman in lit. Not leading, but the Coen brothers write badass women.
Wonderful too to see so many brilliant women writers showing how it’s done
