Open to subs from 1st Aug! Esp on look-out for thrillers, horror (everything! Stephen King to Point Horror series to dark scary academia) and v moving love stories (Maybe Next Time is vg eg). Also love to find something steamy… think Fourth Wing, The Idea of You, Mills & Boon!

@rachelpmann I'm writing a drama/thriller set int he UK and Mykonos. Would that be of interest? The first 50 pages have been edited and are ready to send over if you want them?

I didn't make the BAFTA shortlist, but I did receive some encouraging feedback... The script has vivid settings and uses strong visual storytelling. Each character has a distinct voice and the dialogue and interplay are often spiky and fun... #screenwriting #competition #drama

A big thanks to @TheChainlocker for hosting our Writers Xmas get together. We didn't do much writing today, but we had lots of fun and I can't wait to read my secret Santa book...

@samstonewriter @PeateClaire @PolyFalmouth That is such a kind response. And it was terrific to meet some of Falmouth’s creative community - I was most envious of the support you provide for each other!

I've finally finished polishing my latest TV pilot and it's winging its way to the BBC to be scrutinized, so keep your finger's crossed for me... #tvseries #drama #crime #cornwall #france #spain

What a great night with fellow screenwriters @peateclaire and @williamivory at @polyfalmouth. #thegreatescaper is a perfectly paced, tender love story which tackles some sticky subjects with a mixture of joy and despair, taking you on an emotional rollercoaster of understanding .

@clairepeate @williamivory @PolyFalmouth @falwriting Can't wait 👏

@Nelle_Andrew ...I don’t tell anyone about my past because I don’t want my life to pivot again around the day she disappeared or worse, taste the remorse that inevitably resurfaces like a wedge of mucus from the depths of my darkness ... IN DEEP - samstone.me/novelist/

1 - a love story - not necessarily a romantic comedy (although love these) but a love story. However grand; however simple - however thorny or complex or ambitious. Or however deep and emotional - just make me feel, make me care. And I am putty in your hands

I am in the fortunate position now of being able to reopen my subs and passionate about finding new authors. There are so many books I love but this is what I'm particularly looking for - a thread:

I'm feeling very chuffed today as I have just found out that my script REVENIR was selected for the final judging of the Television Script – Pilot category in the International World Film Awards... samstone.me/scriptwriter/ #tvpilot #screenwriter #thriller

If you haven't found this golden nugget on Amazon Prime Video yet then search it out...The Tape is a gorgeously slow, gentle romance which highlights the true beauty of Cornwall and it's people against a backdrop of amazing musuc by Martha Tilston ... imdb.com/title/tt145522…

What a great location for @liz_fenwick 's local book launch. The Secret Shore is based in helford and has captured much of its intriguing history...

What a fantastic documentary by Becky Hunter @krowji_ with @cfylm_cornwall in @stoneskrowji last Thursday. #fashionreimagined really made you think about the role fashion is playing on killing environment and how we need to change our buying habits. youtu.be/TSZRvmcBrOI
