I’m the award-winning author of three novels (including “Fire Horses” and “Out of Office”, pub. Legend Press), and a novelette which was praised by the New Yorker. I have received four generous awards from the Royal Literary Fund and one from the Authors’ Foundation. Dozens of my short stories and poems have been published in anthologies, magazines, and literary websites, including 3:am, Aesthetica and Prole. I graduated from the University of Manchester with an MA in Novel Writing and now work at the University of London.

Hundreds of my features and comments have been published in the UK nationals, including The Times, Sunday Times, Guardian, Independent, Critic, The Author, Spectator and New Statesman, as well as in the US and Ireland. I have been interviewed on BBC Radio; appeared on and researched for TV, including a Channel 4 show aged 20; and am credited on “Shed your tears,” the documentary which helped inspire “Happy Valley.” I also helped write the script for BAFTA-winning artist Alison Jackson’s West End show “Double Fake.”
