Writing

I run a Substack at Pull Up A Chair; it's an informal newsletter full of chat about PhD life, books, and writing.

Every month I send out a brand new exclusive poem to subscribers to my Poems Through Your Letterbox club!

As a teenager, I was a winner of the Poetry Society's SLAMbassadors performance poetry competition, mentored by TS Eliot prize winner Joelle Taylor.

I am a writer and reader of romantic women's fiction, with my first novel having twice been long-listed for important awards for debut novelists: the Lucy Cavendish Prize and the Penguin Michael Joseph Undiscovered Writers' Prize.
