Liv Parkinson

Liv is a screenwriter and author from Liverpool specialising in psychological thrillers.

Her 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 screenwriting, Liv wrote and produced several short films, including Cutting, an exploration of weight cutting in combat sports that won a Royal Television Society Award. Her work has also been championed by the BBC. Following her selection for its Northern Voices talent scheme, Liv was one of just twelve writers chosen for the prestigious 2023/24 Scripted Programme, a development initiative for emerging television writers.

Since then, Liv has written an animation as part of an anthology series with Nexus Studios and has had several original television series in development with Mam Tor Productions, Wall to Wall North and Route 24. 

Alongside her screenwriting, Liv is also an author. Following the success of her debut novel, The Dropouts, her latest psychological thriller, You Will Remember Nothing, starring Raffey Cassidy and Nico Mirallegro, was released as an Audible Original on September 30th. The title has since entered the bestseller charts and ranked among Audible’s most popular psychological thrillers.
