Success Stories

Just some of the writers we’ve helped to achieve screenwriting success

“I’m in the slightly unusual position of having worked with three different script coaches at Script Angel, as I kept coming back (!) whenever I wanted to level up my work or was stuck with getting a new idea on paper.

Each coach brought something distinct to the process, but what remained constant was the comprehensive development support, the warmth, and the insistence that I push my writing further than I thought I could – with the safe space to do so.

They didn’t just help me to develop my work – they helped develop me as a writer.”

Danielle Reid

“Script Angel are exceptional script editors who champion writers. Hayley and her team combine honest, incisive feedback with genuine career guidance, and they actively open doors when the right opportunities come along.

Thanks to them, my script Never Too Late was commissioned by Channel 5 as part of its revamped Play for Today strand.  

Smart, supportive and genuinely fun to work with — I wouldn’t go anywhere else.” 

Simon Warne

“Script Angel has played a pivotal role in my long term development as a career screenwriter.

After being matched with an exceptionally skilled coach who has fantastic industry experience, we’ve developed a working relationship that I highly value and trust.

The feedback that I have received through my mentorship has helped me to develop a screenwriting portfolio, find representation and generate multiple projects that have been optioned.

Script Angel is not a quick fix, it’s a long term investment in your writer development that is modelled on the industry development process.

I highly recommend Script Angel for emerging writers building a portfolio of writing samples as well as screenwriters looking for trusted feedback on originals to take out to the market.”

Hannah Palmer-Prior

“Script Angel has been invaluable to me as a writer, the one on one support has allowed me to explore and hone my voice, taking my writing to another level, which you just can’t get in books.  

Plus as a disabled creative, they have always accommodated my needs and made me feel seen. 

My work with them has got me optioned and won film festival awards.  And I’ve recently been signed by an agent.”

Katy Lynam

“I can’t recommend Script Angel enough. I started coaching with a very clear goal, and I hit that goal entirely thanks to everything I learned through coaching.

It is the best thing I have ever done for myself in my professional life. I learned so much from working with my coach, who also taught me about the workings of the industry, and how to independently push ahead with my studies to keep improving.

Ultimately I went from being a complete newbie, to being hired as a screenwriter in the course of a year. I learnt the craft, and the rules, and then I learnt how to break them. I refer to the teaching I received through Script Angel in every aspect of my writing.

It was also a very productive time for me; I wrote two features and a pilot under the careful supervision of my coach, and had the most brilliant notes along the way which, along with deadlines, really helped motivate me to get the work done. I would encourage anyone who wants to be a screenwriter, and has the means, to take the leap and start working with Hayley and her team of coaches.

It really has changed the direction of my career in ways I didn’t think possible.”

Hattie Williams

“I would recommend Script Angel to any writer wanting to improve a piece of work. They are so constructive in their critique and approachable that you are left raring to tackle the next draft. Thanks very much!”

Roland Moore

“Script Angel gave me the tools and insights needed to find my process, and encouraged me to trust my instincts as a writer. A story I started outlining with them became a complete feature in six months and was selected for the Writers Lab International (2025).”

Zsofia Darida

“Script Angel has been invaluable in allowing me to rediscover and fully embrace my voice.

Their unfailing support and enthusiasm – not to mention the always excellent, insightful story notes! – have spurred me to aim higher, write harder, and really push myself to the edge of my ability.

I’ve learned so much both about writing and about myself as a writer, and feel so much more equipped to tackle whatever comes next.”
