Researcher

I have been developing, researching and writing factual television and radio since 2008, working for a number of production companies.

My work has included: development research and pitch-writing; primary and secondary historical and social research; contributor research; story-boarding; contributor interviewing; script writing for pieces to camera and voiceovers; contributing during the editing and dub processes; press, publicity and social media work.

In short, everything from that all-important 9th pitch document to tweeting as programmes are aired…
