"Michelle wrote several scripts for my comedy web series Mr Vista. It was clear that she understood the style of the series and the characters straight away. Where we had to ask for rewrites (around budget issues) her rewrites were fast, effective and delivered back almost instantly."

-
Tim Clague, Bafta-nominated scriptwriter and writer/director/producer of the Mr Vista web series

"Michelle has a natural flair for generating great character-based comedy, and contributed some well written, funny sketches towards the show. Michelle is a fast, hard-working writer who responds well to feedback and is very easy to work with."

- Scott Payne, producer of nerve FM's The Unprofessionals

"Michelle's writing makes for compulsive reading and reflects a deep and reliable commitment to delivering the very best big picture you could ask for. As an ideas-person she is automatically enthusiastic for new concepts that excite, powerful drama that moves the heart and the very maximum audience impact."

- Alexander Cameron, producer

"I was blown away by how many project ideas Michelle has. A very dedicated young lady! And her ideas show such sensitivity, emotion and a sense of dramatic potential in ordinary human stories. I feel sure she will move audiences and have them thinking and discussing for long after they've seen her work. "

Letting Go
 [complete but undergoing rewrites] is an emotional modern-day family drama looking at the relationship between a young girl, struggling to keep her identity amidst peer pressure at a new school, and her mother's all-consuming denial at the loss of her firstborn the year before.

The Hunters [complete] is a childrens drama series set ten years into the future: Britain is under the grip of The Grey Army led by the shadowy general. The adults have been deported - know one quite knows where. Many of the remaining children are co-opted into The Grey Army for enforced training - for what, know one knows. There are some stragglers, though. One such group, or "tribe", is The Hunters, using whatever they can find in abandoned shops to survive and constantly striving to not only save the children trapped in The Grey Army camp but to ultimately find out who The Grey Army are and what they have done with their parents.

Novels
