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! Stories that aim to challenge our preconceived
ideas and prejudices on life as we know it.
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.
A Beach. Any beach. Any weather.
Preferably, the white, unspoiled sands of a
remote Scottish island on a rare sunny day
Linda is represented by Michael Eliot-Finch
SHUGA KOATED
Stories inspired by truth and muddied by the lies
told to us, against us, by us, and to ourselves.
The ethos behind all of the stories written and developed by Linda along with a brave heart,
compelling characters, and challenging narratives!
