Jonathan Kinnersley

In 2016, Emily worked as Writer’s Assistant to Jez Butterworth on BRITANNIA, S1 – inspiring her to start writing her own material.

In 2020, following: the completion of writer’s programme Serial Eyes at the DFFB Berlin film school, two years of a Development Executive role at Bavaria Fiction and twelve years of experience in the TV/Film industry overall – Emily made the leap into writing full-time.

By 2021, Emily was commissioned to co-write a young adult fantasy romance TV Movie for NETFLIX.

Most recently, Emily penned a three-part AUDIBLE spin-off series for CITADEL, the AMAZON US action-thriller.

Currently based out of Margate, Emily is now writing a new AUDIBLE commission, psychological thriller, NEXT OF KIN – as well as developing multiple projects: family drama LIFE-LINE for Odeon Films, and two series for Neue Super: medical precinct comedy drama OPEN FOR BUSINESS and legal thriller LIABLE. For Constantin Films, Emily is also writing a historical drama, LOLA with co-writer Lara Barbier.

Last year, Emily was excited to have her short tragi-com play, INVISIBILITY SUITS YOU selected for a MESSY WRITERS Live Read. This followed her other short play, PERMANENT RECOLLECTIONS OF A TEMPORARY WORKER which was short-listed for VOICES FROM HOME.

Emily revels in participating in Writers Rooms: most recently LAYOVER and NEVERLAND for Windlight Pictures, as well as a TNT/HBO Writers Room for historical drama, AGE OF QUEENS with Readymade Films.

In addition to her writing in the industry: Emily also finished a part-time MA in Writing for Stage and Broadcast, at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama – all whilst completing production roles on feature films: ONE LIFE for See-Saw Films and WE LIVE IN TIME for SunnyMarch.
