Dave Turner has been writing comedy since the Sunday Express published one of his jokes at the tender age of nine. His reward was a crisp one pound note, which he still owns in order to prove that he is – in fact – a professional writer.

His first feature script “Owen Paul Ruined My Life” was optioned by Hard Place Productions and his sophomore script “Only A Game” was optioned by It’s Alright Ma Productions. You may recall that you saw neither of these at your local multiplex.

His comedy-drama “Is This Music?” was selected for the TAPS ‘Finding the Writer’s Voice’ workshop and was a runner-up in the 2008 Red Planet Screenwriting Contest.

Dave is currently developing a project about the recession with a production company as well as his long-cherished comedy about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

He will be attending the Screenwriters Festival in October where is a finalist in the annual “Son of the Pitch” competition.

Dave lives in the bucolic splendour of Buckinghamshire with the Better Half and his three children conveniently named Kids A – C.
