I once learnt to juggle but now I just do it with words. Reformed lawyer & teacher, now screenwriter of comedy, romcoms, and thrillers. Represented by WGM Atlantic. (She/her)

2024 has been very traumatic (long story short, my husband nearly died) At the tail end of all this, I had to come up with more jokes for my comedy pilot. Given that the last thing I felt like doing was laughing, I honestly didn’t know if I’d be able to do it…1/2)

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Hey you - sexy singleton! Getting married? Need a speech? Use a PERSON like Matt instead of Metal Fucking Mickey!
I mainly get by on writing wedding speeches. This year the number of jobs has dipped by around 70% - I have a feeling AI has something to do with this. Oh happy days.

Info on its energy gobbling should be in every news story about AI. It is newsworthy. It is inseparable from the tech itself.
It's all fun and games until …

"Professor Gina Neff of Queen Mary University London told the BBC #ChatGPT is "burning through energy", and the data centres used to power it consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries."

I had a lovely chat with Adam earlier this year. He definitely knows his stuff, so if you’re looking to get that script done, this is worth considering #ScriptSky #ScriptSkyUK
I have some spaces opening up in April for writers interested in one-to-one script development for TV or Film. This year we've had two competition wins, read requests from producers, options, and a writer that signed with an agent!

DM if interested :)

How it started / how it’s going

I seem to find myself giving all the writers I work with the same note and it’s proving to be the hardest note for writers to take, impossible for the majority.

But for the writers that do, the results speak for themselves. Comp wins, festivals, agents and options!

Screenwriting is… dealing with notes on my outline. It’s like rebuilding a jigsaw puzzle with extra pieces. Making them fit can be a challenge but when you finally redo the puzzle it’s soooo satisfying (although I’m not there yet!) #ScriptSky #ScriptSkyUK #screenwriting
