Tim Sullivan
Tim Sullivan is an acclaimed screenwriter. His writing credits include A Handful of Dust, starring Kristen Scott Thomas, Where Angels Fear to Tread, starring Helen Mirren and Helena Bonham Carter, Jack and Sarah (which he also directed) starring Richard E Grant, Judi Dench and Ian McKellen and Letters to Juliet, with Amanda Seyfried. He is also a Television director whose credits include Sherlock Holmes and Cold Feet and Coronation Street. He has written extensively in Hollywood in both live action and animation, working with Ron Howard, Scott Rudin and with Jeffrey Katzenberg on the fourth Shrek movie.
Tim has written a series of crime novels featuring the eccentric but brilliantly persistent DS George Cross. Set in Bristol in the southwest of England, Cross’ methods often infuriate his colleagues and superiors “not so much a thorn in my side as a pain in my arse,” according to his boss DCI Carson. But DC Cross’s conviction rate, thanks to his dogged persistence and attention to detail, is the best in the force. The seventh in the series The Bookseller is published by Head of Zeus on January 16th 2025.
He feels confident in his claim that he is the only crime writer around who has also co-produced and written a My Little Pony movie for Hasbro and Netflix: My Little Pony - A New Generation.
Tim lives in North London with his wife Rachel, the Emmy award-winning producer of The Barefoot Contessa and Pioneer Woman. Their two daughters live nearby.
