About Steve

Steve is a writer specialising in period dramas and location pieces that evoke classic cinematic visuals. With a background in acting and teaching drama for twenty years, his features have garnered interest in the BBC Open Call with a favourable producer report on medieval island survival drama "Red Fell" and a longlist and semi-finalist position for coming of age drama "The Lulworth Mermaid." Steve likes nothing more than to throw himself into research or a museum gift shop.
