About me
I’m a fiction writer and journalist. My debut novel, You from Another Life, is forthcoming from Chatto & Windus in the UK & Commonwealth, and from Doubleday in the US. It’s also being translated into eight languages.
I currently work as an editor at Semafor, and over the past fifteen years have reported for outlets including The Times of London and Agence France-Presse from China, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia and Mexico.
I studied English Literature at Oxford University and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. I was awarded the Royal Society of Literature's V.S. Pritchett Prize in 2017 and 2018. My short stories have been published in the anthology Megacity and magazines Prospect and Riptide, and longlisted for the Commonwealth and BBC Short Story Prize and the BBC Short Story Award. In 2019 I was selected for the inaugural London Library Emerging Writers Programme.
