Literary fiction. Currently querying literary agents.

I hold a BA (Hons) in French with History from Queen Mary, University of London, with a minor in critical and creative writing. I worked in publishing for ten years before establishing a property and design consultancy.
I have participated in creative writing workshops and courses at Queen Mary University, the Royal Academy, City Lit and the Faber Academy. My work has placed in the Top 100 out of over 1,000 international entries in the Ascent Novel Prize.
My work explores fractured narratives, unreliable consciousness, and the ways we construct meaning from incomplete information. I'm interested in form as content. How the shape of a story can embody its themes.
Jewels of a Fractured Soul
"Sometimes truths aren't discovered, they're assembled."
Threads of the Self
"A secret daughter, a fragile mother, and the legacy of a woman who built her life on ambition and silence."
The World at the End of the Pier
Speculative literary fiction. In development.
