Biography

Jayne took up writing at the age of three with a blue crayon on the front porch. It is still her favourite style. Having spent much of her life working with children and young people, Jayne graduated from the London Institute in 2000 with an MA in Screenwriting. Her work has since been broadcast on Radio 4, CBBC, screened at Edinburgh Film Festival and BIFA nominated. Her writing is imaginative and adventurous, bringing warmth and heart to tough thematic content and putting the art back in fart. When not writing and producing for Brown & Sticky Productions Ltd, or teaching screenwriting at the Northern Film School, Jayne can be found with young people messing about in kayaks or up mountains - sometimes at the same time. Jayne is currently writing a novel for young adults.
