Experience

Fran Stokes gained a BA(Hons) degree in English Language and Literature from Manchester University in 1977 and then worked as a Script Assistant at Granada TV from 1978 to 1985.  Leaving Granada in 1985 to train for a completely different career within the NHS, Fran maintained her hands-on experience of English language usage by working part-time as a script reader for the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester the BBC and others.  Fran has always been an avid reader and maintains her interest in the theatre and the arts since her early work for Granada, where one of her duties there was to attend events such as the Edinburgh Festival to identify writers and properties for possible television productions.
