Writing
I am a novelist and short story writer, and my work has been nominated for the Commonwealth Short Story Prize (2021); the Writers’ Trust McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize (2020); the Carter V. Cooper Short Fiction Competition (2019); the Australian Book Review’s Elizabeth Jolley Short Story Prize (2017); the Mogford Food and Drink Writing Prize (2016); and others.
Having been awarded the Vice-Chancellor’s International Attainment Scholarship at Queen’s University Belfast, I am completing a PhD in English on food and gender, and writing my first novel, Milkflower. In 2016, I moved to the UK from Canada to study an MA in Creative Writing Prose Fiction at the University of East Anglia, as a recipient of the North American Bursary.
I am currently seeking representation for my first novel, Milkflower, which was shortlisted for the Grindstone International Novel Prize. Please find a full list of my publications here.
Editing
As a freelance editor, I have worked for international non-profits, small businesses, and individuals on a variety of projects, including reports, technical guidance, funding applications, blog posts, social media content, and book chapters. I have a keen eye for detail and strive to help clients communicate as clearly and effectively as possible. Find out more and get in touch here.
Teaching
Through the National Centre for Writing, Queen’s University Belfast, the Public House Norwich, and elsewhere, I have taught Creative Writing workshops, lessons, and courses for adults and young people. Find my upcoming courses here.
