I have had the privilege of working with many great writers over the last thirty years.

I have mentored many. I like writers. Everything starts with the script.

I have read many. I know a good script when I read one!

I can help you take your script to the next level.

​Every show you love, the script had many drafts, endless notes were given & rewrites made.

The fact that you have got to the stage of getting the story in your head/heart onto the page and completing the script is HUGE! Well done you. Many do not!

​My notes are given from the point of view of the audience.

I do not read a bible, pitch doc, character breakdowns etc prior to reading your script. The audience does not see those or know backstories or what's to come. At the end of episode one, what makes me want to dive straight into the next episode Did I enjoy it, am I intrigued, did I understand the story?​

Do I want to spend more time with these people, did I laugh or cry?

Do I care?​

If NOT why? ​​

Please see my fees below.

The fee is based on notes for a 30 min episode (30-32 pages).

For 1hr episode please add £100 to each fee​

I know how hard it is for everyone right now.

If you are struggling I am happy to discuss payments being made in instalments.

We can work something out depending on your circumstances. ​

I ask for some payment upfront & the remainder after delivery of notes.​​

Some of the people who i've worked with

"After taking some time off from my ‘creative pursuits’ since the world ended, Ali Carron has been such a fantastic help mentoring me get my script off the ground with the producer pass program!

 

Helpful notes and encouraging candour, after years of feeling not great about my work, she’s helping me rewire brain from theatre to writing for TV and I highly recommend getting in touch with them for a professional outlook on the work your making".

 

A real eye for comedy, character and structure. I look forward to every conversation we have! I recommend dropping her a line even if it’s like mine, a vomit draft barely cleaned up because you don’t know how".

"This woman is brilliant. I worked with her for years on The Thick of It and sundry other shows. Her onions? She knows ‘em".

Chris Addison

"Ali gave me a great set of notes for the comedy drama script I sent her and I was delighted by her insights into my script born out of years of her working on some stellar tv shows over the years and I also felt extremely well held as a writer by such a supportive and seasoned producer!

 

Can highly recommend Ali to any scriptwriter who wants to take their script up a level or two! 👍👍👍".
