Tanya M Wheeler has always written but only stopped being a teacher and started calling herself a ‘writer’ twelve years ago.
She found novel writing very hard so when she discovered screenwriting, it was a revelation. She fell in love and has since written prolifically in every genre and format - everything from historical, to action via romance, comedy, family, animation and horror themes - for web series, feature, TV, short film and eventually stage as well. Her stage adaptation of Jane Austen’s ‘Persuasion’ was debuted here at The PumpHouse Theatre in February 2017.
Tanya has written and consulted on a number of award-winning short films, and has been a finalist, semi-finalist or winner in sixteen screenwriting competitions. Currently working on writing another couple of plays, and producing a short film, Tanya has taken time out of her busy schedule to come and share her creative process with an audience at The PumpHouse – a place she has loved since she was 10 and saw George Henare perform there as Snoopy .
