ABOUT CHARLOTTE CARRICK
Script Editor, Development Assistant, Storyteller & Creator
Since 2021, I’ve worked at Emmerdale as both an Assistant Script Editor and Storyliner, honing my skills in story development and editorial production. In 2023, I was selected for Script Ed with Screen Yorkshire, completing a placement at RED Productions. I also received a ScreenSkills bursary to complete the John Yorke Story for Script Development course in 2024.
Alongside this, I’ve read and assessed projects for production companies including Euston Films, Duck Soup, and 42, and more recently expanded into book-to-screen adaptation, reading for Forage Literary and screenwriting competitions such as the WFTV Kay Mellor Screenwriters’ Lab.
My writing has been performed at venues including the Everyman Theatre, Theatre 53two, The Cockpit Theatre, Ye Old Rose & Crown, Chapel FM and Leeds Playhouse. In 2024, I was longlisted for the Rope Ladder Regional Breakthrough Writers Programme (ScreenSkills & Dandi) and the Access Northern Writers' Programme (Warner Bros, Wall to Wall, and The Royal Court). I’m currently supported by The Writing Squad and New Writing North’s Script Hub, funded by Channel 4.
My film work has screened at Screentest: The National Student Film Festival (London), Girls on Film Festival (Newcastle), and the Feminist Festival (Mexico). In 2025, my short film script HELD was shortlisted for consideration by Old Swan Films.
I’ve also collaborated on creative projects with institutions including Yorkshire Dance, The Performance Ensemble, Canal Connections, and Leeds College of Music. I have a strong commitment to the arts and cultural sector, which I believe is a vital tool for connection and social change.
