Work with me

Josh’s support has been vital to the development of my writing... I came away from our last conversation feeling completely rejuvenated for the second draft and inspired to keep developing as a writer.
— Jaz Nikolai, playwright

With extensive experience in the UK theatre scene as a playwright, dramaturg, and script reader, I am committed to supporting marginalised writers and advocating for diversity in the arts. Here are the services I offer:

  • Script Assessment: I’ll review your script and provide feedback, either in a written report or through a phone/video call.

  • Dramaturgy: I’ll guide you from first draft to submission or production, helping shape your play’s development.

  • Mentoring: A flexible service that supports your growth as a writer, especially if you’re balancing playwriting with other challenges.

Dramaturgy is a focused, fixed-term collaboration while mentoring can be more open-ended. We can work together in person, over the phone, or online. Please specify the service you’re interested in and your preferred communication method in the contact form.

I also recommend applying for the Developing Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council England, which can fund dramaturg and mentoring work. For more info, visit Arts Council DYCP.
