Check out my work!
With over 20 years of experience as a professional writer across prose, stage, screen and web content, I’m surprised I haven’t lost my mind! But I love it too much to get a “real job”
What the readers and audiences say
Honest words from collaborators, creatives, and clients who’ve brought stories to life alongside John.
The World’s Fastest Screenplay Contest 2025
The rhythm of exchanges, particularly between Hansella and Bo’njeanie, is pitch-perfect. The script balances insult comedy, absurdity, and genuine emotion with dexterity. Subtext appears in nearly every scene—most notably when characters weaponize politeness to devastating effect.
Edinburgh TV Festival 2026
Super fun premise – like a combination of Hacks and Lessons in Chemistry. Plenty of potential for comedy between the two main characters of Hansella and Bo’njeanie.
Audience reaction - Scratch Cabaret 2026
Absurd and witty. There is a soap-opera-esque tragic element to the story.
Stoke Rep Theatre 2026
A funny and heartbreaking look at family, illness and professional jealously.
Edit Marketing
John's work for us has been exemplary. His ability to produce high quality at a good speed (and thus good price!) put him in the category of our top 3 writers. We also had him act as our editor and manager, overseeing the work of other writers.
John is an excellent writer, able to make adjustments after feedback and always brings a creative approach to problems with positivity. He was able to step up quickly to all tasks with minimal supervision and really showed his worth!
