About me

I'm a writer and director based in the East Midlands. My first play, a one-act comedy with absurdist elements, was performed at the All England Theatre Festival heats 2026. It is currently under development with a full-length script and a committed cast. My debut novel, Iridescent, made Top 100 in the Cheshire Novel Prize 2025, and I've published short fiction in minor literature[s]. I have a PhD in Literature from the University of Essex.
