I write about motherhood, disability and grief — always with a pop culture twist.

My work has been recognised with the Allyson Kent Prize for Fearless Writing at the 2025 Alnwick Story Fest (you can read my winning entry here). I’ve also been shortlisted for the Bath Flash Fiction Prize, longlisted for the Motherhood Uncensored Things Left Unsaid competition, and received an Honourable Mention in the Curae Prize.

Beyond the page, I co-host the TV & film review podcast The Honeymoon Period, with my husband Mark. Our show has been featured in the Guardian and was named Film Stories’ British Movie Podcast of the Week.

I have shared my experiences of baby loss and being a parent-carer at international conferences, training events, and on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Newcastle, BBC News, and The Modern Mann podcast.

When I’m not writing or podcasting, I’m a prize-winning Associate Professor and National Teaching Fellow with a PhD in storytelling as research.
