Career

[edit source]

Moon wrote a screenplay for the low budget science fiction feature The 7th Dimension, and two episodes of the children's series The Sparticle Mystery. Although she published many short stories and some novels early in her career, her break came when she submitted her idea for Wolfblood to the BBC Writers Room, where it was selected as a series.[1] Moon came up with the idea during a visit to a bookshop, saw the words "wolf" in one book title and "blood" in another and blended them together. It ran for five series and was nominated for several awards, winning the Royal Television Society Award for the Children's Drama category in 2013; the Banff Rockie Award in the category for 'Best Children's Programme (fiction)' that same year; In 2015 it won the British Screenwriters' Award in the category 'Best British Children's Television'.[citation needed]

Moon expanded into adult drama with Hinterland. On 10 June 2022 it was announced Moon would adapt the Blue is for Nightmares novels by Laurie Faria Stolarz to television.[2]
