Georgia Pritchett (born 1968) is a British producer, screenwriter, and author. She is best known for her work on Veep and Succession, as well as her book My Mess Is a Bit of a Life: Adventures in Anxiety. The Guardian described Pritchett as "one of the country’s most successful screenwriters".[1]
Pritchett was born in London, England in 1968,[2] and raised in South London by her parents, Josephine Haworth, an author, and Oliver Pritchett, a journalist and columnist. Her brother Matt is a cartoonist, and her grandfather is writer and literary critic, V. S. Pritchett.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Pritchett cited US sitcoms as an early influence in her interest in writing, saying "I was one of those people who would like to watch things again and again, and learn huge chunks and recite them in what is [an] apparently quite irritating way. So I can kind of thought, I love dialogue and I would love to write dialogue and I like the collaborative [nature]."[3] Additionally, Pritchett has cited Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sharon Horgan, and Michaela Coel as women in the writing industry that she admires, stressing the gender imbalance in the television industry.[4]
In 2021, Pritchett published her memoir, My Mess Is a Bit of a Life: Adventures in Anxiety, about her experiences in screenwriting as someone suffering anxiety.[5] [6]
She joined the British American Project in 2023.[7]
