In addition to writing novels, I also create, write, and executive produce for TV. I collaborate with some of the best producers and platforms in the industry on the most exciting projects. I create exceptional television for all audiences….from pre-school to primetime…
FINDING HER EDGE (w/t)
I am currently show-running the adaptation of Jennifer Iacopelli’s romantic sports novel for Netflix and Wildbrain (in Canada). We are in production now, so check back for updates.
This is a romantic, soapy drama set in the world of elite figure skating. The novel itself is inspired by Jane Austen’s book, Persuasion.
GEEK GIRL
After many years of championing Holly Smale’s incredible Geek Girl novels, I sold the project to Netflix (and StackTV in Canada) where it debuted on May 30th, 2024 to enthusiastic audience reaction around the world.
This is a joyous, life-affirming show about Harriet Manners, a British high-schooler whose world is turned upside down when she’s discovered as a model. But this is so much more than a fashion fantasy, it’s a story about being your best self. I hope you love it as much as I do!
SUSAN HILL’S THE SMALL HAND: A GHOST STORY
I developed and executive produced this spooky adaptation of author Susan Hill’s ghost story, ‘The Small Hand’ for Channel 5.
It first aired on Channel 5 on Boxing Day, 2019, and it’s available on DVD in the UK from retailers like HMV, amazon, or Simply Home Entertainment. Don’t watch it alone in the dark. You’ve been warned.
TRUCKTOWN
I discovered Jon Scieszka’s books at Bologna Book Fair and championed the books to screen. I executive produced two seasons of a smash, crash pre-school show with the great team at Nelvana. It’s full of smash-crash fun for preschoolers and preschoolers at heart. Trucktown is produced by Nelvana and sold around the world.

NODDY IN TOYLAND
While I was an executive at Chorion Ltd., I had the great privilege of managing the Enid Blyton literary estate. I gave Noddy a refresh for a whole new generation of kids with the new Noddy In Toyland animated series.
Noddy In Toyland debuted on Milkshake in the UK and on top broadcasters around the world.
CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE (DVD)
I was passionate about these interactive “game books” as a boy and secured the rights to produce the interactive movie Choose Your Own Adventure: The Abominable Snowman, featuring the voice talent of William H. Macy, Frankie Muniz.
Just like the books, there are choices along the way and many endings to choose from…and not all are happy endings.
