Scriptwriter/book writer
Also known as 'Phiz' to his literary friends, Philip Gilliver is a North Wales writer new to the world of sitcoms. After publishing six books for children and young adults and several short stories he realised that his real passion was really for dialogue, as he thought that the most interesting parts of a character comes through their speech.
In his early life Philip used to spend a lot of time in the Wrexham Arts Centre coffee shop with his friends where he became fascinated by the characters who came in and ordered cups of tea. He loved to observe their mannerisms and listened to the way that they spoke. Later he enrolled on a number of creative writing courses in order to improve his writing. In 2000 he graduated Glyndwr University Wrexham with a 2:1 (hons) degree in Literature with Media.
His early experiences also include local drama groups and with the Clwyd Youth Theatre alongside Mark Lewis Jones and others who have since gone on to form successful TV and movie careers. Philip has also done work experience with the local newspaper, The Wrexham Evening Leader. He went there to shadow a reporter but ended up interviewing and writing news stories.
Recently he has completed an online workshop with writer/comedian/actor Bennett Aaron, which has fuelled his enthusiasm even more.
