About Merryl

Merryl Futerman started her career in publishing. Lured by the bright lights of showbusiness, she moved over to the film industry, but quickly realised her skill set as forming individual relationships. In 1997 she set up as a freelance Celebrity PA, truly believing it was a role she had created. Over the last twenty-five years she has supported some of the biggest names in UK entertainment including Jonathan Ross, Anne Robinson and Julian Clary.

During the pandemic her work dried up, so she turned her full attention to the novel she had been working away at for years, the result is “Don’t Make a Scene”, which takes you behind the scenes and into the world of Maddy Sparks, a young woman finding her way, making mistakes and ultimately realising the power of her network of fellow PAs.

Available on amazon in paperback and ebook, and to order from bookshops.
