About Jake
I am the co-writer of two West End musicals: The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13¾ (Leicester Curve, Menier Chocolate Factory, Ambassadors Theatre – nominated for the Evening Standard Award for Best Musical) and The Great British Bake Off (Cheltenham Everyman, Noël Coward Theatre – nominated for four Whatsonstage Awards).
I wrote the feature film Love Sarah starring Celia Imrie and Bill Paterson, the stage play Four Play – which premiered at the Old Vic Theatre starring Richard Madden - and I co-wrote the Christmas film Tinsel Town starring Kiefer Sutherland, Rebel Wilson and Derek Jacobi. My new stage adaptation of Treasure Island recently ran at Bristol Old Vic.
I trained as a playwright in evening classes at Nottingham Playhouse run by Theatre Writing Partnership, then at the Royal Court Theatre in London. I studied Drama at Bristol University.

As a professional writer for stage and screen I mentor students and fellow writers at all ages and levels, from first-time writers right up to Oscar-nominees (no, seriously!).
Whether you're writing films, plays, musicals or songs, I can tailor my approach to best fit your project. I'm a friendly, relaxed and easy-going mentor who just wants the best for your project.
Sessions can be whatever suits you: be that weekly or semi-regular check-ins. Some people want to talk about the 'bigger picture' idea, whereas others want specific notes on a particular scene or moment in their script.
Get in touch and let me know what you're looking for and we can discuss the best approach for you :)
