Read MoreAlan is a script editor, screenwriter and actor with a strong fascination in the human condition, masculinity and comedy. He creates his own work and supports and collaborates with the projects of others.Originally from Scotland I moved to Leeds when I was young and (fast forward) have been working as an actor in London since 2013. However, in recent years I have discovered my love for writing and have developed shows for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The New Diorama Theatre and recently made a silly non-TX pilot Revenge a Paris, spoken entirely in nonsense French. It's been a journey. More recently I developed my skills as a script editor by founding Script Nurse, a pay-what-you-decide script feedback system. Using social media to connect with fellow writers, I provided a service that allowed me to read an abundance of scripts, further understand the craft of screenwriting myself and help writers, earlier on in their careers, develop their work. My love of reading many scripts with the eye of providing notes is one of my biggest passions as I am eager to hone my skill for direct and engaging storytelling. The grateful and appreciative comments I received from many people who used Script Nurse has given me the confidence to pursue script editing/ screenwriting as a career.I've constantly been obsessed with the topic of masculinity and how men function in modern society. I know that given the opportunity I will bring my experience of mining this topic to the service with vulnerability, sensitivity and a great deal of self-deprication.
