Bridport Prize Flash Fiction 2018

"In the space of less than a page we get a sense of character, a
sense of the way his mind works." Monica Ali - Judge Flash Fiction

I am a prize-winning writer and creative writing tutor. Born and raised in Bristol, I studied Mathematics and Physics BSc at London University before discovering my passion for writing which led me to study the MFA in Creative Writing at Kingston University (Distinction).

 

My main love is prose writing. My short stories, both literary and commercial, have been widely published in magazines, anthologies and online, read at literary festivals and performed. I have written novels and had poetry published and a play performed.
