About Me
I have a background in Fine Arts. My previous workshop experience includes running 'creative speed dating' sessions for collaborating artists and poets, drawing/writing games in an empty swimming pool and art exchanges in an apple orchard.
I started writing Flash Fiction five years ago. My stories have been shortlisted for the Bridport Prize and Bath Flash Fiction Award, nominated for Best of the Net and a Pushcart Prize. You can find my stories in Ellipsis Zine, Janus Literary, Molotov Cocktail and Reflex Fiction among others.
