Welcome,

I’m a writer, editor and activist telling stories about a world in transition.

I write about social and political culture through essays and a newsletter called The Murmuration and host the BRAVE NEW WORLDS Book Club. My work helps the public imagine alternative futures and develop empathy and resilience in the face of an uncertain present. These themes inform my current work-in-progress, a novel set in Holloway, North London.

As an editor I provide editorial services to agents, publishers and writers, helping them refine, polish and sometimes re-envision book proposals and manuscripts ahead of submission and publication. My freelance clients regularly secure agents and book deals with ‘big five’ publishers.  

Between 2017-2023 I worked at HarperCollins UK, first as a member of their graduate programme, and latterly as a commissioning editor for the literary nonfiction imprint William Collins. Books I have worked on have been Sunday Times Bestsellers and my authors are recipients of the Windham-Campbell prize, National Book Awards and the Pulitzer Prize.  

I hold degrees in politics from the University of Cambridge and the School of Oriental and African Studies.

I live in Somerset where I can often be found baby-wrangling and drinking cider (not necessarily in that order).
