I am a writer, researcher, tutor, education support worker, and occasional print maker. Born and raised in Glasgow, I am now based in Dublin, where I spend most of my time at the antique writing desk I found in Oxfam Home, looking out of my window at my favourite tree and worrying it’s going to blow over in the wind.

I have a creating writing master’s from Trinity College Dublin, and I recently graduated with a DFA in creative writing from the University of Glasgow.

As a fiction writer, I work mostly on the literary peripheries of the gothic and the speculative. My long fiction piece Skin Grows Over was chosen for the Bram Stoker Award initial ballot in 2022. Originally published by Ghost Orchid Press, it is now available to purchase here.

I have a number of short fiction publications to my name, with more due to be published this year. I completed my first novel for my Doctorate, and am currently working on my second.

For my Doctoral thesis, I researched man-made monsters in literature and film, through the lens of feminist and queer theory, with particular emphasis on the concept of the queer unnatural. I have taught on English literature and creative writing modules at the university of Glasgow, and have presented papers on feminism and man-made monstrosity in Prague and Gottingen.
