My short fiction has been shortlisted for the Galley Beggar Short Story Prize (2021) and The White Review Short Story Prize (2017). It’s also appeared in The Cincinnati Review and been named an “Other Distinguished Story” in The Best American Short Stories 2021.

My novel in progress, Seven Sweet Nothings, was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize/Curtis Brown Discoveries Prize in 2025.

I have an MA with Distinction in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia, where I received the David Higham Award.  In 2014-15, I was mentored by Amy Sackville through the Writers’ Centre Norwich Inspires/Escalator scheme (now the National Centre for Writing).

I have a BA in history, summa cum laude, from Bryn Mawr and spent a year studying modern history at Pembroke College, Oxford.

I’m American and British. I grew up in Ohio and now live in South London with my partner and our two small children. I work as a copywriter, primarily in the energy and travel sectors.
