Emily Joshua

Welcome to my Television Scripts, Short Films, & Books

ABOUT EMILY...
I am an award-winning screenwriter writing inclusive, character-first drama with a thriller pulse. For my 'Coming of Age' Regency Romance Foxton Hall that means romance with real consequence, and secrets that cost.

I hold an M.A. with Distinction in Writing for Script & Screen from Falmouth University, and alongside writing I have worked as a BBC Production Assistant & Researcher, children's book writer-illustrator, and Diversity & Inclusion advocate. I’m also a disabled and neurodivergent writer, committed to normalising inclusion through entertaining, culturally rich storytelling.

Cohort 2025 has been renamed, recorded by award winning voiceover artist Margaret Ashley and is available to hear as an Audio Screenplay on the Streaming Platform Outwrd.
