I am a writer and teacher of fiction, with a specialism in the short story. I took an MA in Creative Writing at UEA, where I won the David Higham Award, before securing an AHRC PhD studentship at the Open University. For my PhD, I studied narrative disruption in cinemagoing and D/deafness, and spent several years learning British Sign Language.
My first novel Blackmoor, won the 2010 Desmond Elliott Prize, and I have published four more books, including two for young adults and The Electric, which arose from my doctoral study. I've been shortlisted for the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award, The Encore Award, the Branford Boase Award, and the Dylan Thomas Prize.
More recently, I have focused my attention on short fiction, and my stories have appeared in The Moth, and
Best British Short Stories 2022. My story 'Single Sit' won the Galley Beggar Press Prize 2021, and my work has been listed for the Sunday Times Short Story Award, the V.S Pritchett Prize, and the Manchester Fiction Prize. My critical work has been published in
Writing in Practice, and I have written for The Guardian, the BBC, and The Conversation.
