About me
Hi! I'm a Scriptwriter, Head Writer, Development Consultant, and Content Creator working in Children's Television, Animation, Youtube, Video Games, Interactive, Corporate and Educational spaces. Currently Head Writer for Nickelodeon/iQiyi's new series DEER SQUAD, now working with the team on scripts for Season 3.
I have worked with video game companies around the world on many interactive projects. I wrote, produced and directed award-winning and BAFTA-nominated interactive movie THE BUNKER for consoles, PC and mobile and THE HUNTING, the world's first interactive movie app.
It's always exciting to be brought in on new projects at the early development stage - building characters and worlds for kids is so rewarding and exciting!
Drop me a note if you are looking to develop your new project!

THE BUNKER
BAFTA-nominated video game for Playstation 4, XboxOne, Nintendo Switch and mobile - created, written, and directed by Allan Plenderleith. A groundbreaking feature length interactive thriller, out now.
The Next Step - Take it to the Top!
This was a great project to work on, a dance game combined with RPG elements. I wrote the story and script and had great fun writing for all the characters.
Children's Education
BBC Bitesize
I was asked to write a new series of 10 episodes for BBC Bitesize all about KS1 Music. It featured a fun cast of characters from the world of music including Anna Meredith, Nitin Sawney, Bob Marley and Bach!
What are Pulse and Rhythm?
If you are starting to explore music it's helpful to know about pulse and rhythm. They're the foundations to every song. Starring Anna Meredith!
Children's Books
Creating characters kids care about
I love writing children's books - my first book, The Smelly Sprout, was inspired by my son who refused to eat sprouts when he was younger. I told him a story to feel sorry for sprouts and it worked, he gobbled them up! My latest book, Teddy Christmas, is out now.
