Marie Spanswick has been a writer, journalist and PR person for 35 years, and in love with the story for all of her life.

As a journalist, she interviewed Take That, joined the army in the first Gulf war and was in Bosnia during peacekeeping missions. She once witnessed a man setting himself on fire – and, of course, wrote about it.

In recent years, Marie has focussed on developing IP for film, TV and publishing. Her work blends bold storytelling, rich emotional arcs, and market-driven narratives, spanning Norse mythology epics, British comedy, and dystopian thrillers. Her first novel is now in development. Although she still supports the PR/copywritng side of the business at times too, especially on speech and script writing.

Working with corporate and agency teams, Marie won three national PR awards and was a finalist in the UK wide Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Excellence Awards.

Debbie has worked in PR and communications for over 20 years. She’s great at networking and an outstanding editor, with a great eye for detail and a passion for social media. She knows no-nonsense when she sees them. She’s highly creative but has her feet firmly on the floor. She connects her creativity and her superb organisational skills.

She’s convinced celebs to work for free, she’s juggled two TV crews at the same event and even persuaded a government minister to ride a precarious looking penny-farthing bike for press shots, even though at the start he said - absolutely and categorically - he couldn’t or wouldn’t do it. 

Oh, and she’s got a few gongs to her name too. Debbie has won awards for her work in both the education sector and the housing sector.
