I’m a writer, teacher and campaigner based in Bristol. I’m represented by Harriet Moore at Aitken Alexander Associates.

Writing: My first book, Intervals (2024), explores end-of-life choice, care and creativity under austerity. Intervals won the Fitzcarraldo Edition Essay Prize and the Bread and Roses Prize, was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction, and shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award. My writing has also appeared in the Observer, LitHub, Vittles and is forthcoming in Parapraxis. In 2025, I received an Arts Council Developing Your Creative Practice grant for work towards Living Arrangements, my first novel. 

Teaching: I teach Creative Non-Fiction for Faber Academy, will be a guest speaker at an Arvon retreat in 2026, and have offered mentoring through the Wellcome Collection’s Creative Non-Fiction Award. I occasionally deliver workshops and guest lectures, most recently on the ‘Poetics of Care’, at the Royal College of Arts.

I have a PhD in English from Birkbeck (University of London), and a BA and MPhil in English from the University of Cambridge. I’ve presented my research internationally and co-edited a special collection for Studies in Romanticism.

Campaigning: I’m the Communications Manager at climate justice collective Platform, working for a just future beyond fossil fuels. Also at Platform, I curate Archive as Catalyst, an arts programme exploring activist archives and movement histories.
