Hey! So Glad You're Here.

I’m Jamie, an emerging Comedy & Drama writer developing work for stage, screen and novels.

 

Dialogue is my strength - natural, funny and shaped by a strong sense of character. I’m passionate about bringing humour, heart and real northern working-class voices into Comedy & Drama. 

​

I worked for many years as a qualified person-centred therapist.  That background shapes how I write emotional truth, resilience and relationships. I have written two novels and am early in my stage and screenwriting career. I am actively developing new work and my voice as a writer.

 

I have just been commissioned to write a thirty-minute stage play for Middle Child Theatre as one of the winners of the Fresh Ink Festival 2026.

​

TV and film have become overly focused on dark themes - crime drama, police procedurals, and true crime.  Even once light-hearted soaps have turned to the dark side, with every storyline ending in disaster. It’s down to choice, but at present there doesn’t seem to be any, so I am concentrating on Comedy & Drama to bring back some of the lightness we all crave and need – a balance.
