Liv Parkinson

Liv is a screenwriter and author from Liverpool whose work often delves into the issues facing young women, blending genres and twisting true events in a way which is both psychological and introspective.

Liv’s passion for writing began as a teenager, where her short play, a modern retelling of Frankenstein, won a National Theatre Playwriting Competition and one of her short stories was selected as Runner-Up in a Short Story Competition run by Penguin. Shifting her focus to film, Liv wrote and produced several short films which were selected for BAFTA-qualifying festivals such as Encounters, Aesthetica and Galway. Liv’s short film, Cutting, an exploration of weight cutting in combat sports, won a Royal Television Society Award.

Since then, Liv has written an animation as part of an anthology series with Nexus Studios and she currently has several original TV series ideas in development with Wall to Wall North, Mam Tor Productions, Route 24, Liberty Films and Mediapro Studios.

In addition to her screenwriting work, Liv’s debut novel will be released in 2025 as an Audible Original.
