Will Miles is a screenwriter with a passion for commercial, character-driven dramas, often darkly comic in tone, always fun, and featuring complex gay characters and West Country settings. His scripts include BUBBLEGUM, charting the rise of an ambitious pop group in the cut-throat 90s music industry, and HOW I KILLED LEX BEAUMONT, following an OCD-racked young man battling with disturbing false memories. Will is always developing new ideas.

Beyond writing, Will is a volunteer for OCD Action and enthusiast for everything from psychology to karaoke to (amateur) astronomy. He has a background in copywriting. Born and raised in rural Dorset, he now lives in London.

He has reached the interview stage for BBC Pilot 2024, the top 2% of BBC Open Call in both 2020 and 2021 and was invited to David Higham’s inaugural Scripts Open Day in 2019. He is an alumnus of the prestigious Creative Writing MA at the University of East Anglia.
