IMPORTANT
This is the website of Mark Leigh, the prolific author.
It is not the website of Mark Leigh, the General Manager at Microsoft Australia, or Mark Leigh the Asset Manager at Exxon Mobil International.
It is also definitely not the website of Mark Leigh Kitchens (with showrooms in Lancaster and Kendal).
HELLO
A Surrey-based author, by day I work in a leading marketing agency, (mainly for the free stationery), but by night - and on weekends and religious holidays - I write, having had 57 humour and trivia books published to date.
I’ve written books for the Great & The Good including Chris Tarrant, Jeremy Beadle, Julian Clary, Ade Edmondson, Des Lynam and Roy Chubby Brown.
TV projects have included writing for Joe Pasquale, Hale & Pace and even Noel Edmonds (a dark period in my life of which I am deeply ashamed).
Current projects include two novels: a comedy, Dick Longg Saves The World! and a crime thriller, Dead Beat.
Have also written three full-length spec film scripts, Lord Spud, Kakia Vice (shortlisted in a BAFTA competition) and School of The Living Dead - as well as a psychological horror film, Trespass which I am also adapting as a novel.
My first scripted short film, He Came From The Moon, is in production hell, with the director having gone AWOL. (Film and TV are a fickle mistress)
MY LATEST PROJECT: TRESPASS
I've co-written this full-length psychological horror film and am currently seeking a production deal.
Based on a real location that had over 17 million You Tube views, TRESPASS is more than just another haunted house movie, and represents a unique approach to the genre, if I do say so myself.
Set against the backdrop of a group of Urban Explorers infiltrating an abandoned mansion, the film examines what happens when ego and the pursuit of social media fame jeopardises not just friendships, but the lives of others.
