About me

---

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 has been short-listed for the Polari First Book Prize, Wales Book of The Year, and the Betty Trask prize.

In 2024 I was selected as one of the Hay Festival Writers at Work and also Chaired a 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. 

In 2020 I won a New Writer's Bursary from Literature Wales. I received a bursary, mentoring from Rebecca F. John, and attended a writing course at Tŷ Newydd. I am currently a mentor on the 2024-2025 Representing Wales bursary programme, which I'm finding very rewarding. 

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 look after my son on Fridays and Mondays.

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.
