Read. Write. Learn.

My name is Karen Quinn, and I am an award winning writer, director and writing consultant. Most recently, I was selected to be one of the BBC Writersroom Voices cohort for 2022. I was also longlisted for the Mammoth Screen TV Writer’s Award 2021, and twice shortlisted for the Sir Peter Ustinov Television Scriptwriting award run by the International Emmy Committee, in both 2014 and 2015. I was also the winner and recipient of the Northern Ireland Comedy Writers programme in 2016, organised by Grand Scheme Media, and a shortlisted writer and director for Jameson First Shot 2016. In 2014, I was shortlisted for the Red Planet Prize. I have toured my writing both nationally and internationally. I am also a published children’s writer, with my work broadcast on television and published in short story collections. Currently, I am working on my PhD in Creative Writing with Ulster University.
