Welcome to Writer in Residence.  Feel free to pour yourself a coffee, pull up a chair and take a look around : )

My Story

I’ve loved to write since I was very young, from the magazines I used to create in my childhood bedroom, to sitting in coffee shops writing sketches of the people around me. 

Within these pages you’ll find short, conversational essays around navigating the writing life from a simple, minimalist perspective, touching on lifestyle, books, and the highs and lows of trying to write.

Under ‘Portfolio’ you’ll find links to a selection of my published writing, including personal essays, literary criticism and short fiction.  I am also the creator of A Narrative of their Own, a Substack newsletter all about 20th century women’s writing and how it affects contemporary culture. 

I hope you stick around for a browse or visit again soon and that this little corner of calm can help you on your own writing journey or path to a simpler, less cluttered life.
