Born in Sheffield in 1879, HARRIET BEANEY is a British writer whose provocative short stories have been published in Granta, the New Yorker and the Lumbutts Parish Council Literary Review. She has written a number of successful movies, reaching a career high with 1998’s horror masterpiece ‘The Fuckening’ which grossed over $350 million at the international box office against an $800 budget.

Her work has been dubbed by critics as ‘breathtakingly polyphonic and wisely, astonishingly multitudinous’, ‘without doubt one of the most significant voices in modern cinema history’ and ‘impossible to exaggerate the importance of this web series’. According to F. R. Leavis, writing in a special issue of the Times Literary Supplement in 1974, Harriet is ‘the first Renaissance woman. Not since the time of Goethe has the world been exposed to such wide-ranging expertise and aesthetic sensibility - and all in the shape of a 5”3 [sic] ex-Suffragette.’ 

Harriet is represented by Entertainment 360 and Independent Talent.
