About Me

Edinburgh born and raised, I studied English Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Edinburgh and worked in bookselling for several years before joining the library. I’m a fiction writer and was recently featured in We Were Always Here: A Queer Words Anthology, published by 404 Ink.
