Welcome to my website!
I am a playwright, author and tutor. I have Masters qualifications in Scriptwriting from the University of East Anglia and Playwriting from the University of Edinburgh (just in case you're wondering!) My plays include; A Beginner's Guide to Populism, Make-up, After We Danced, Are You Lonesome Tonight and Casual Encounters. There's more information on these, and other plays on the Plays pages of the website.
I have also written a non-fiction travelogue Around the States in 90 Days which was published in 2009 and spent four years in the best selling travel books on Amazon after the Kindle edition was published in 2012.
I teach Creative Writing, English Language and English Literature. I have tutored students from National 5/GCSE to degree level as well as devising and delivering courses, personal tuition, and online classes for beginners and intermediate writers. I also offer a range of Script Reading Services and Manuscript Critiques. All of which you can reach by clicking on the links in the text.
All of which is enough from me. Here's a few things from other people about me. You can read more here.

'Absolutely cracking. Make-up is wonderfully written. The performance is superb. Pathos and deep serious emotions, but there's a beautiful wit as well. Very entertaining.' Alan Bissett (Playwright, novelist, performer)
'A beginner's Guide to Populism is is expertly conceived, written and executed by a team who plainly have an eye for the socio-political zeitgeist. Echoes of the present resonate throughout – references to sex pests, contempt for experts, the invitation to build a wall - all delivered with wry humour and witty lines. A thoroughly entertaining play, brilliantly executed and cleverly written.' Ian Hamilton (Buxton Fringe Review)
'A light romantic confection with a hopeful gleam in its eye, After We Danced it achieves exactly what it sets out to do. Charming, well-acted, well written and unfussily performed. Exactly the type of play you can imagine being in the canon of am-dram companies for many years to come' TV Bomb
'Andy is an excellent tutor. He is very methodical, focused, reliable and very well prepared. I am pleased to say that my daughter achieved excellent grades (her best grades) in both English Language and literature thanks to Andy`s hard work, patience, dedication and support.' Tutor Hunt Review
'Andy has provided fantastic support and immediately managed to coach my son in improved quality of work and deeper understanding of the set text. I cannot recommend Andy highly enough.' Tutor Hunt review
'Andy is a very patient and knowledgeable tutor who I would highly recommend. He helped my daughter achieve an A band 1 in her final Higher English exam, and really helped her gain confidence over only a couple of months of tutoring.'
