Elinor Perry Smith // Writer and Mentor

Elinor is a screenwriter, instagram poet and writing mentor working in London.

She enjoys working with individual writers and is currently investigating how the poetic form of Haiku can influence how screenplays are written.

Some love from TC 8.0 Writers Cohort

‘Elinor has been an invaluable mentor. Her thoughtful feedback and sharp instincts have helped shape my work in meaningful ways. She took a special interest in my period biopic and even suggested its title, The Fire Within — a perfect fit. I’m truly grateful for her insight and encouragement.’
Evelyne Jacquot // Screenwriter

‘Elinor was so great to work with. She understood my story quickly, as well as the difficulties of condensing a full tv series and pilot episode into just one page. She had the perfect answer. A super positive person to work with. Real can-do energy.’
Judith Bunting // Screenwriter and Producer

‘Elinor was a fantastic mentor during Talent Campus, offering generous and thoughtful feedback throughout the development of my project treatments. She’s brilliant at refining loglines and most importantly, is a wonderful human being to work with, providing constructive and supportive feedback that helped to grow and elevate my ideas.’
