I am a writer, researcher, and teacher based in London, UK.

Academic Writing

I’m the author of British Boarding Houses in Interwar Women’s Literature: Alternative Domestic Spaces (2017) and co-editor of Spatial Perspectives: Essays on Literature and Architecture (2015). I have also published articles on the writers Jean Rhys, Dorothy Richardson, and May Sinclair.

My research interests are in women’s writing, modernism, and critical and cultural theory. I am fascinated by the history of domesticity and the forgotten stories of women’s experiences and I’m particularly obsessed by the influence different spaces and places have on their inhabitants.

I received my MA in Modern and Contemporary Literature from Birkbeck, University of London and my doctorate in English Literature from the University of Oxford.

Fiction Writing

My pamphlet of hybrid pieces Weather / Patterns was published by intergraphia books in 2022. My flash fiction and short stories have appeared in many journals and anthologies, including the Bath Flash Fiction Anthology, Ellipsis Zine, Lighthouse Journal, Litro, and Mercurious. I was awarded third place in the 2024 Edinburgh Award for Flash Fiction and in 2021 was shortlisted for the Bridport Prize for Flash Fiction. My work has also been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

My novel, The House of Lost Threads, a gothic, haunted house fairy tale about three generations of women who all disappear, was longlisted for the 2024 Bridport Novel Prize.

Availability

I am available for lecturing and teaching, mentoring, editing and proofreading, and book reviews.
