## Biography

Jonathan Perera is a British screenwriter. His first screenplay, *Miss Sloane* (2016), was produced as a political thriller directed by John Madden and starring Jessica Chastain.

Perera trained as a corporate lawyer before teaching English in China and South Korea. He began screenwriting in his early thirties while living in Asia and completed the script for *Miss Sloane* without initial plans to submit it. The script was discovered via a query letter in 2014, optioned by FilmNation, and developed with no other writers credited.

Perera received the Writers' Guild of Great Britain Award for Best Screenplay for *Miss Sloane*.
