Jamie Robinson
Hi, I’m Jamie. I’ve been interested in writing for at least a decade, writing scripts purely because I liked doing it. I primarily write satirical comedy drama focused on the UK but bringing international characters into that. My work takes topical themes from the world around us and uses it as the basis for a wacky and fun but plausible story. I hope you enjoy what I write.
