I am have just completed my first novel, 'The Sky is the First Thing,' about a young female clone and is currently out on submission & Finalist in the Andromeda Science Fiction Prize, 2025.

​

My contemporary adaptation of 'The Secret Garden' reimagined as a young refugee girl who finds a magical garden on top of a highrise, will be produced at the Leeds Playhouse and Theatr Clwyd in Spring 2027. My adaptation of Virginia Woolf's 'A Room of One's Own' will go live at the amazing London Library in June 2026.

​​

I am writing speculative fiction, climate stories and doing contemporary mash-ups of classic texts. I have just received a grant from the Peggy Ramsay Foundation to write my stage-play 'All the World's a River' about a group of street-kids in Jacobean London and I am developing my global podcast series, 'No Place but the Water' set in a hotel at the end of the world, into a YA novel. The whole series will be released on Audible, Summer 2026.

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. My stage-play, 'The Invisible' was shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Playwriting. Saint Joan of the Anthropocene' was a finalist in the Prix Italia, 2025 and BBC Best Adaptation, 2026. I was born in London, am half Welsh and grew up partly in New York and Los Angeles. I have a PhD in silence, two amazing kids, and have just recently moved to the wonderful city of Brighton.​​​​​​​​​​
