About Mike
I'm an award-winning Irish writer who grounds supernatural and fantastic ideas in fallible characters to explore universal truths about human experience (and sometimes that’s funny).
I graduated from Ireland’s National Film School with The Award for Academic Excellence before working in a variety of media with the likes of Disney, SyFy, RTÉ, Zodiak, and Telegael.
Highlights include a nomination for Best Writer for an Animated Series at the Irish Animation Awards for my first ever animation script, writing the world's first hybrid Broadcast/VR/Webseries for SyFy, being part of the launch team with BAFTA winning games studio Romero Games, and co-adapting a New York Times bestselling fantasy series for TV.
I'm represented by Jean Kitson of Kitson Press Associates in the UK.
