Script consultant UK – script writing samples – pro scriptwriter for hire

12th December 2024 @matcoop 0

A lot of people offer this sort of service, including some very questionable anonymous reader services (why would you pay someone to read your script not knowing what experience they have?)…   Anyways,  I always try give advice from a the point of view of someone who has pro credits and has worked in the trenches for quite a bit.

For ages, I’ve been meaning to put a load of my TV work on a page here on this website,  it’s easier to do now, with shows like Emmerdale uploading old eps to YouTube.

So, I had a quick look online today and found a ton of my old credits.  Which you can see below.

Finding your voice – script consultant UK – guest blog post

As the busiest script consultant in the UK – I work with new writers to help them find their voice – and sometimes (when my work is heavily in demand) script reports and script coverage are picked up by other professional scriptwriters that I have worked (and respect) with over my long career in film and TV.  One such writer is my good friend Cardy O’Donnell.
