award-winning writer
STORIES for theatre screen, fiction, & podcasts

I have just completed my first novel, The Sky is the First Thing, which was a finalist in the Andromeda Science Fiction Prize, 2025. My adaptation, Saint Joan of the Anthropocene, was a finalist in the Prix Italia, 2025 and is a finalist for BBC Best Audio Adaptation, 2026. My stage-play, The Invisible, was shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Playwriting.

​​

I am writing speculative fiction and doing contemporary mash-ups of classic texts. I have just received a grant from the Peggy Ramsay Foundation to write a stage-play set in Jacobean London and I am adapting my global podcast series, No Place but the Water into a YA novel.

​

My work has won a Pearson Award, Grand Prix at the Prix Marulic, BBC Best Single Audio Drama, Finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Theatre Award, Tinniswood Award, Arias, MEN Best New Play and the Yale Drama Series. I also have a PhD in silence and live in a little house by the sea in the wonderful city of Brighton.
