Between the lines
Writing on the fringes of publishing
About me and my writing
I’m a writer of fiction and non-fiction, who dabbled in film, television, cabaret and performance poetry, before settling on the written word.
My historical novel, A Murder of Crows, won the 2023 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 small collection soon.
In non-fiction, I’ve interviewed Dolly Parton, written articles for the Guardian, book reviews for Litro Magazine and – for four years – edited an award-winning website for the University of Cambridge.
