About | Shuga Koated

LINDA CAMPBELL | Screenwriter

Shuga Koated Founder & Creative Director

I'm PASSIONATE about the precious gift of life,

and all the drama therein... FURIOUS about those

who take personal choice out of any equation!

I write original, female-led, character-driven stories

with punch! Narratives that aim to challenge our

preconceived ideas and veiled prejudices on life,

love, and those who populate our precious planet.

I'm at my crazy happiest watching life unfold onscreen,

my crazy worst agonizing over every word I write.

When not 'watching' or writing, I'm happiest roaming...

Woods. Old Lanes. Street Markets.

Eating out. Cooking in. Breaking bread.

A Beach. Any beach. Any weather.

Preferably, the white, unspoiled sands of a

remote Scottish island on a rare sunny day

Stories inspired by truth and muddied by the lies

told to us, against us, by us, and to ourselves.

Stories with a brave heart, compelling

characters, and challenging narratives!

Often, inspired by true life.
