Hello and welcome to my website.
My name is Matthew Cooper and I’m a BAFTA nominated scriptwriter for hire, script consultant, filmmaker and Script Doctor, from Leeds in the UK.
Is your scripted project on life support? Does your third act flatline? Do you need someone with experience to perform vital surgery to bring your script back to life?
Welcome to the surgery of the number one UK SCRIPT DOCTOR – NEW PATIENTS ARE WELCOME…






If you’re going to use a script doctor – you better be sure the person is qualified – here’s my Script Doctor qualifications – my script writing credits – and this is my BAFTA nomination on the BAFTA website.
Can anyone else on the internet offer those qualifications? With over 200 hours of UK broadcast TV with my name on – I’ve been a core writer on not one, but four of the UK’s top soap operas (I worked as writer on Emmerdale / EastEnders / Family Affairs and Hollyoaks – that’s ITV/ BBC ONE / CH5 and CH4 respectively).
Satisfied? Step into the surgery of the UK’s number one script writer for hire and UK script doctor…
