​A new novella and screenplay inspired by Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Ebenezer Scrooge returns from the grave to haunt ‘Tiny Tim’ Cratchit – that once sweet boy, now twisted by tragedy and estranged from his family. The spectral Scrooge must drag ailing Cratchit through Christmases past, present and future to save him from a fate worse than death, while facing up to the unexpected consequences of his own redemption.

BIO

IMG_4210.JPG

Hi! I'm Ben. I'm a writer. My screenplay, Such A Night, is in development with Nigel Cole (Calendar Girls, Made In Dagenham) set to direct, and I've just finished my new script and novella, Cratchit, 

Christmas ghost story that follows on from A Christmas Carol.

​

I started writing while working in theatrical marketing for mini-major STX. We released films including Hustlers, Spencer and The Mauritanian. I left my role as Director, Content and Media Operations at global media company NME Networks in May 2025 to travel and write.
