Telling stories that move you on screen and in fiction.
Also: queer, trans* (they/them).
Jay Pendragon
I'm a queer, trans* screenwriter and writer of fiction. As a copywriter and sensitivity editor, I also use my powers to help folks express their visions better.
Screenwriting
Jay offers free feedback as well as paid sensitivity editing across all genres. Don't lose your audience by accident. Provocation slays – alienation kills!

Jay Pendragon has on-set experience, both as a director and script supervisor. Their commercial work includes an video for a German library as well as scripts for tutorials.
Writing & Services
You need a second pair of eyes for your script? A skilled writer to craft copy? Or a person with a unique voice for a guest blog? I'm here for you.
Does your story need a sensitivity editor?
All writing's ultimate test is how it resonates with the reader. While provocation is good, the last thing you want is to alienate. That's where a sensitivity reader comes in!
