SCRIPT & DEVELOPMENT
WRITER | SCRIPT EDITOR | STORY CONSULTANT
Based in Cork I help writers and producers develop stronger stories through script editing, coverage reports and development notes. From early concepts to production ready drafts, I work with projects across film, television and commercial content.
DEVELOPMENT WITH PURPOSE.
Great script development is not about rewriting a writer's voice. It's about identifying what a project is trying to achieve and helping it reach its full potential. As a Script Editor, Script Reader and Story Consultant, I provide script coverage, development notes and editorial feedback for film, television and commercial projects. My approach combines practical script analysis with a strong understanding of story, character and structure.
Featured Development Project
Video Nasty
HETV Series
Video Nasty is a comedy horror drama following three teenagers whose obsession with banned VHS tapes lands them at the centre of a murder investigation in 1980s Ireland.
Beginning as a Shadow Script Editor on Series 1 and later returning as a Development Assistant on Series 2, I worked directly with the creative and development team, supporting script development, editorial discussions, writers' rooms, story development and television development throughout the production process.
