Hello everyone. Great to be here. I have a Masters in Create Writing and I've written two novels, short stories and a novella. I'm originally from Lisbon, went to a French Lycée and did a medical degree in St Andrews. I've travelled with my day job/work to New Zealand and as a cruise ship doctor, but I have settled in Canterbury.
I'm a part time GP and a novelist but during the pandemic, I did a screenwriting course which I really loved. I adapted my novella to a script and enjoyed every minute of it. It combines my passion for writing with my love for the movies. Here to learn and connect. Lovely to meet you all

I'm a UK based screenwriter, happy to connect. Your journey is most interesting. There is a film/film production based networking/education event in London run by Lets Make Films. Should be one in June but no date set yet. A few UK based Stage32 members may be attending if you're looking to network face to face.
