Writing on the fringes of publishing
About me and my writing
I write fiction and blog about writing, reading, research and self-publishing.
My historical novel, A Murder of Crows, won this year’s Global Novel competition and reached the shortlists of Novel London and Retreat West Opening Lines.
You’ll find my short stories in Mslexia, Litro and Unthology among others, and I’ll be self-publishing a collection soon.
I work as a writer and editor, have written articles for the Guardian, book reviews for Litro Magazine and – for four years – edited an award-winning website for the University of Cambridge.
