About me
I’m a writer and journalist. Over the past fifteen years I’ve reported for The Times of London, Agence France-Presse and others from China, Hong Kong, India, and Mexico.
I studied English Literature at Oxford University and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. In 2017 and 2018 I was awarded the Royal Society of Literature's V.S. Pritchett Prize. My short stories have been published in an anthology, Megacity, in the magazines Riptide and Prospect, and longlisted for the Commonwealth Short Story Prize and the BBC Short Story Award. I’ve also been nominated for the Lucy Cavendish Prize and the Caledonia Novel Award and in 2019, I was selected for the inaugural London Library Emerging Writers Programme.
I live in South London, where I’m working on a novel and an essay about Antarctic exploration and grief. I’m also an editor at Semafor.
