Kerry Drumm
Award-winning writer for television, film and theatre
I write character-driven drama rooted in community, emotional truth and a strong sense of place. My work often centres on working-class lives, family dynamics, and people navigating pressure, loss and belonging — with warmth, grit and understated humour.
I’m currently developing original television drama and limited series projects, including producer-ready material, and I’m open to conversations with producers, commissioners and literary agents.
UK-based | Open to international co-production
