Hello

I’m a writer living in Leeds. After working in China, Japan and Italy I came back to Yorkshire to do a PhD on classical Chinese ghost stories, and never left. I won the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize in 2019 for my novel The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands, and a Northern Debut Award from New Writing North in 2021. The novel will be published in 2024 by Weidenfeld and Nicolson in the UK, and Flatiron in the US.

My agent is Nelle Andrew, at Rachel Mills Literary
