About Me

Hi! I’m a reader, writer, creative writing tutor and mum of two living in Staffordshire.

I’ve had a book blog since 2013. Most of those archives are here, but for new posts you can subscribe to my Substack. I post author interviews, bookshop reviews and reflections on my writing and reading life.

As both a reader and a writer, I’m drawn to themes of mortality, motherhood, and landscape. My favourite books include Middlemarch and Maps of our Spectacular Bodies. I’m passionate about the transformative power of writing for mental health and connection.

I earned my Creative Writing MA with Distinction from Bath Spa University in 2017 and, my novel-in-progress was shortlisted for the Janklow and Nesbit Prize. After having two children, I now work as a creative writing tutor while finishing my novel.
