Me

*

Ages ago, 2005 in fact, I received a Masters’ Degree in creative writing from Swansea University.  Since then I’ve been trying to justify it to my parents. 

I'm passionate about writing, of course I am, but it's a bland ol' statement. How about this then?  I'm five foot nine and take a size thirteen shoe.  Two of them, in fact.  Imagine that.  Sensational balance.

​

I've been on the BBC Voices talent programme, been commissioned to write monologues for both the BBC and Sherman Theatre.  During lockdown, I wrote a series of short pieces that were selected & placed across multiple film festivals and I've been shortlisted for the prestigious BBC and National Theatre Wales Writer in Residence prize (Didn't win - must've been something to do with the feet).  Over the past couple of years, I've written a couple of books, and aside from a few projects,  that's where my time has been going.

​​

I've written commercially and creatively - from a series of educational radio plays for Berlin University, to adapting screenplays for the stage.  I love doing writer-y stuff and take on freelance work - so if you are thinking about sending me a message, I'd be delighted to have an obviously-no-obligation chat about your project.  Please either use the form below or email me directly at rickalldenwrites@gmail.com.
