I’ve worked on pieces that have gone on to be performed, read, streamed and filmed across all sorts of stages and organisations: the Vaults, Brighton Fringe, various fringe and off-West End theatres and more. Below you’ll find quotes from some of the brilliant people I’ve been lucky enough to work with.
Justin’s notes and support have been insightful, thorough and invaluable for the development of my play, which has now gone on to recieve funding from Arts Council England. His approach is supportive but forensic and he picks up on what is working and what needs to be developed. I highly recommend his script editing services.

Justin’s dramaturgical assistance on my triptych, An Unclear World: Experiments in Afropessimism, was an incredible boon. His tireless dedication to working on the piece together (not to mention his speedy turnaround times) really helped me take the play to the next level of cohesion. He’s a valuable collaborator if you’re looking to not only shape your story but also dig into what that story is about.
Zachariah Ezer, Playwright
I’ve sent a number of scripts to Justin, and in every case I have really valued his insightful and thoughtful comments. Justin’s input is always measured, constructive, and specific – rather than generic comments, he gives actionable, practical suggestions and advice, and he also brings a lot of his production experience to his editing, which is brilliant because he considers the play in both a literary and a performance sense. Justin’s feedback for me has included both really useful line-editing suggestions, and wider structural considerations and thoughts about the overall narrative and staging, all of which were invaluable in taking the play from a rough first draft to a polished and stage-ready script.
On a personal note, Justin is a pleasure to work with – encouraging, supportive, a believer in the work, and generous with both his time and his feedback. I can’t wait to work with him again and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone as a script editor.

My script would not be the best version it could possibly be without the insightful feedback and input from Justin. He understood my voice as a writer and engaged with that throughout the development of the play. Thanks again!
