Writing

Writing has always been part of how I make sense of things, whether that be emotions or hard situations. I write monologues, scenes, and odd little pieces that live somewhere between performance and poetry. Lately, I’ve been creating custom monologues for actors, which has been such a fun blend of storytelling and character work. I've also gotten the chance to make these monologues into a book, I guess making me a published author! (What a fancy title).Whether it’s for stage, screen, or something stranger, writing is where it all starts. Have a scroll, and feel free to reach out if you'd like something written just for you.

Always Give It Socks

Having done drama exams myself and later teaching them, I often came across monologues that felt uninspired or overly simplified. I decided to bring together my love of drama and writing to create a collection of original monologues for young performers. I wanted them to feel real, with complex emotions tucked in among the absurdity and fun. The result is a mix of heart, humour and honesty. The book is now available on Amazon.

Substack

I have recently joined Substack as a way to post my random writings into the world. I don't really advertise it anywhere, as it really is just for me and whoever stumbles across it. But if you've stumbled across it here, why not give it a little look!
