Magda Bird
Hello! I’m a writer, script editor and literary agent's assistant (for MacFarlane Chard Associates). I believe that stories can change the world as they humanise the political. Of course, I’m often inspired by political topics, but I’ll dive into any creative task.
Previous Experience
I have been lucky enough to have my writing produced or commissioned by: ITV (Silverprint Pictures), Little Island Productions, AMC, RADA, Westminster Radio, DSL, The Pleasance Theatre, The Tristan Bates Theatre, Secret Attic, Egg Box Publishing and ISYM.
I’ve also created and co-produced events such as the XRT Festival and The UEA MA Scriptwriters’ Showcase 2019. I recently facilitated a creative writing workshop for the UEA Edge Conference 2021.
I do script development for the clients of MacFarlane Chard Associates, as well as for private clients. And enjoyed being a script judge for the Visibility Film Festival 2020.
I love collaboration and have recently finished the Menagerie Theatre's Young Writers' Workshop 2020. I am currently co-writing an original teen eco-drama series (with Arts Regeneration Co-Founder: Taylor Beidler) and a biographical film (with The Safe Foundation Founder: Hannah Fitt).
