Naomi is a Manchester-based writer for theatre, TV and radio whose work is fuelled by salt and vinegar crisps and mugs of tea. Her plays have been performed at theatres across the North of England and in London including York Theatre Royal, Oldham Coliseum, Arcola Theatre and Theatre 503. However, she was most excited to be commissioned for BBC Radio 4 as it meant her parents would actually listen to her words! 

In 2021 her play DOLLARS AND SENSE was shortlisted for The Women's Playwriting Prize and in 2022 she became a guest writer for Channel 4's Hollyoaks. Currently she is taking part in the inaugural UK Women in Theatre Lab. She also works as a dramaturg and freelance script reader for TV companies & theatres across the UK.
