Hello there!
My name is Andrew Barnett Jones and I tell stories for a living; sometimes on stage, sometimes on the page, and increasingly often for the television. In 2016 I won the Children's BAFTA for "Best Writer" as part of the team on The Amazing World Of Gumball, in 2018 won the British Animation Awards' Writers Award for an episode of Counterfeit Cat and in 2020 won the Writers Guild of Great Britain Award for Best Children's TV Episode for the Danger Mouse Christmas Special, Melted (which was also nominated for the 2019 Children's BAFTA!).
As well as script-writing, I'm also a head writer and script editor on many series including the BAFTA-winning Numberblocks, Aardmans' new animated series Lloyd of the Flies, the globally popular Mr Bean: The Animated Series, Disney shows Viking Skool and Best Bugs Forever, Nickelodeon show Best & Bester and, as they say, many more...

Most of my time nowadays is spent writing children's TV with my friend and writing partner Ciaran Murtagh. We met at drama school, after which we formed a comedy theatre company called The Black Sheep. After touring Great Britain for over a decade, nowadays we mostly stay in our nice comfy chairs and write; you can find our website here.
I also perform as a storyteller, for audiences of all ages, and run workshops in storytelling, creative writing and stage presence/ public performance. If you'd like me to put on a show or run a session for you, contact me here. In fact if you'd just generally like to contact me, you're welcome to do so here.
