About me
In 2013 I completed the Bath Spa Creative Writing MA with Distinction, where I completed a novel that went on to be shortlisted for the Janklow and Nesbit BSU Prize and the 2015 First Chapter Competition, and longlisted for the 2015 Mslexia Novel Competition.
My second novel, Untold, has been shortlisted for the Grindstone International Novel Prize and the Cinnamon Literature Award, and longlisted for the Retreat West First Chapter Competition, the Cheshire Novel Prize, the Marlowe and Christie International Novel Prize, the Gutsy Great Novelist 2025 Chapter One Prize and the New2thescene Winter Novel Competition 2026. I am represented by Lucy Balfour at WME Books.
When I'm not writing, I host workshops and writing courses, and provide one-to-one coaching for writers. I've been a freelance contributor for an online writing community and a reader for the annual Bath Short Story Award. Prior to writing fiction, I wrote on parenting, education and green issues for a variety of publications including The Telegraph.
