I am represented by literary agent Imogen Morrell at Greene & Heaton.
Neon Roses, my debut novel, was published by John Murray Press in May 2023. Neon Roses was short-listed for the Polari First Book Prize, Wales Book of The Year, and the Betty Trask prize.
In 2024 I was one of the Hay Festival Writers at Work,
this involved 10 days of intense masterclasses and workshops. The same year, I chaired my first Hay Festival event called The Queer Experience.
I'm a Swansea girl, living in Cardiff. In 2012 I was a founder member of Songbirds Choir for LGBT+ women, non binary people and trans men.
In 2020 I won a New Writer's Bursary from Literature Wales. I was mentored by Rebecca F. John, and attended a writing course at Tŷ Newydd. I was a mentor on the 2024-2025 Representing Wales bursary programme.
I am a Non Executive Director of Seren Books and a Tutor on some of the creative writing courses at Cardiff University School of Lifelong Learning.
I work part time in communications for a political theatre company, and also care for my son when he's not in nursery. I love using the Welsh I have - but I'm nowhere near fluent.
In my spare time, I love lino printing, swimming, and going out-out.
Thank you to R. E. Dixon for my headshots. You can see more of her work here.
