viv young

I am a writer, journalist and, after completing a Masters in screenwriting - and a lot of hard work - a screenwriter! My feature length script A DARK REFLECTION was produced and I currently have several TV pilot scripts, including COME OUT TO PLAY and BLOOD RELATIONS, with my lovely agent. Last year my short play RELATIVE VALUES was produced on stage at the Chiswick Playhouse. A short film commission FINDING WILSON is now in post. After the publication of a non-fiction work in a 'previous lifetime' I have digitally published HUNGRY FOR LIFE, a finalist in the Page Turner Book Awards. It is the first in a series of books following an Irish family from Victorian times to the present. Currently I am working on the second book in the Irish, and with an LA-based producer on a high concept TV drama series called JACKALs . I have a passion for history, and for telling stories from unique or underrepresented perspectives - especially the older woman, so often overlooked and undervalued by society. Whether exploring these character's lives, loves and flaws in long-form television drama, or the magical big screen, my goal is to fascinate and engage viewers with a fresh voice and a light touch.
