About me

---

Neon Roses, my debut novel, was published by John Murray Press  in 2023, and I am represented by literary agent Imogen Morrell at Greene & Heaton. Neon Roses has been short-listed for the Wales Book of The Year award and the Betty Trask prize.

I'm a Swansea girl, living in Cardiff. In 2012 I was a founder member of Songbirds Choir for LGBT+ women & non-binary people. 

In 2020 I won a New Writer's Bursary from Literature Wales. 

The Ghostly Cruiser, a short story about rural Wales, queer heritage and the hanky code, was featured in Cipher's anthology, Unreal Sex. 

My first short play, about swimming and queer joy, was featured in Out-Rage-Us at the Sherman, part of Cardiff's Queer Fringe Festival 2022. 

In 2024 I was selected as one of the Hay Festival Writers at Work. I was also asked to Chair an event with Alana S. Portero, Wendy Moore and Kenny Ethan Jones called The Queer Experience. I really enjoyed Chairing and would love to do so again, if you are planning a bookish event and need someone asking the questions! 

I love lino printing, swimming, going out-out, and tending my houseplants.  

Thank you to R. E. Dixon for my headshots. You can see more of her work here.
