I’m a Newcastle-based writer and screenwriter developing a collection of speculative short stories, mentored by Jessie Greengrass through a Northern Writers’ Award. In 2026, my fiction won ‘Highly Commended’ in the Creative Futures Writers’ Awards, selected from 1,850 entries.
My writing explores queerness, grief, ecology, and work, set in ordinary places where animals arrive at thresholds, realism slips into the uncanny, and relationships to self and the body begin to unravel.
My scripts have been longlisted for the Pint-Sized Playwriting Award, placed among the top submissions to the BBC Drama Room, and selected for the BFI Script Lab. My debut short film screened at BAFTA-qualifying and international festivals, including Norwich Film Festival and LA Queer Film Fest.
I design and deliver creative writing workshops across the North of England for organisations including New Writing North, and I’m a CORE2 Mentor with the Writing Squad.
My creative practice is informed by training as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and a commitment to access and participant autonomy. Outside of writing, I work for a production company that champions d/Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent filmmakers.
