Liv Little is a writer and creative of Jamaican and Guyanese heritage, born and raised in South London. Her work spans fiction, journalism, audio, and television, often centring the people and places that matter to her.

Her debut novel Rosewater a tender, queer love story was published by Dialogue Books in the UK and John Legend’s imprint, Zando, in the US. It has sold over 30,000 copies in the UK and is currently in early development for screen. Her second novel, Bitter Melon, will be published in 2026.

Liv is the host of We Have Notes, the Observer’s weekly culture show, and has developed a range of film and television projects, including with Emenata Studios and producer Joy Gharoro-Akpojotor (Blue Story, Champion). She has worked in writers’ rooms for See-Saw, Left Bank, and Paramount+, and wrote an episode of The Flatshare (Series 2).

Her original pilot Paradise — a darkly comedic thriller described as Search Party meets Twenties — was featured on the Brit List in 2022. She is also developing a millennial workplace drama, with Naomi Ackie and Lucy Boynton attached to star, and is working on her debut, original feature with Parkville and BBC Film.

Before focusing on fiction and screenwriting, Liv founded and led gal-dem, the award-winning magazine and media platform dedicated to spotlighting the voices of people of colour from marginalised genders. She has also worked in-house at BBC Digital in commissioning, as a producer at BBC Three, and has executive produced several short-form projects.

Later this year, she’ll direct her first narrative short film.

Ward Parry is a British-American screenwriter whose work spans film and television. He co-wrote Retribution starring Liam Neeson (2023) and the forthcoming Shelter directed by Ric Roman Waugh and starring Jason Statham, Bill Nighy and Naomi Ackie set for release next year. He also wrote the award-winning Netflix feature Curtiz.

He was recently hired to adapt the mystery-thriller Black Box for Studio Canal and The Picture Company. In television, Ward sold an F1 racing series to Amazon with Range and Automatik producing, and he is currently developing additional projects with Amazon, Warner Bros., and Sony, as well as a Steve McQueen biopic with Atlas Entertainment.

Before screenwriting, Ward worked at The Guardian and at Saatchi, experiences that shaped his storytelling voice. His background in journalism and advertising brings sharp, character-driven tension to his films.
