Jilly Gardiner

Liverpool born Jilly has worked in the broadcast industry for many years, while also gaining a Masters Degree in Scriptwriting. She has lectured in Media and Scriptwriting, and her passion for writing means she has decided to resume this. Previously one of the winners of the Windsor Marriot Award for New Writing, she has had recent plays produced in Windsor, London’s Lost Theatre festival, Cambridge and Swansea, and was also voted Highly Commended at this year’s London Comedy Writers’ Festival with one of her short screenplays. Jilly particularly enjoys writing about realism, coupled with the natural humour of Northerners. www.jillygardiner.com
