About

I am a novelist and creative writing tutor and mentor living in Oxford.

My debut novel, One More Chance, the story of a young mother battling imprisonment and addiction, was published in 2018 with Dialogue Books and was a finalist in the Exeter Novel Award. My next novel, Things We Lose in Waves, will be published in November 2023.

I wrote and performed two full-length spoken word shows at the Edinburgh Festival, which were respectively turned into a poetry pamphlet and a radio play. I also competed as a national finalist at the UK Poetry Slam.

I have taught creative writing at all levels up to undergraduate for more than ten years, and I’m currently teaching at Oxford University. I also offer mentoring for new writers. You can subscribe to my substack to get weekly writing tips from me.
