Get in touch!

I am a writer from Wigan, based in Manchester. I am inspired by city life, urban nature and canals, hiking, queer joy and community, and neurodivergence. I have received the New North Poets Prize from The Poetry School / Northern Writers’ Awards and a Developing Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council England.

I have been published in a range of journals and anthologies and have worked with organisations including Manchester Literature Festival, Manchester City of Literature, Manchester Poetry Library at MMU, The Writing Squad, the University of Manchester, Superbia at Manchester Pride, the Portico Library, the Rebecca Swift Foundation, and Yorkshire Dance. I enjoy creating and facilitating writing and zine-making workshops.

I am always looking for exciting new creative projects and collaborations - please email me for a chat!
