Fiction

My first novel, How to be a French Girl, was published by Weatherglass Books in 2023.

3AM kindly published an extract which you can read here.

Arts and culture

I write quite a lot about the role of art in class structure and urban regeneration, particularly street art and public art events/enterprises (and especially what’s happening in Southend on Sea and local areas).

This writing has been published by New Socialist, Hyperallergic and TOMA x Estuary Festival: Precarious Straits. It also features in the anthology Southend’s Twilight Worlds.

I’ve also published long form content here - Strange love for Southend or: How to stop the bomb and Empty unity [sic]: Precarious proposals and the exchange of community.

Other things

Sometimes I write about literature. This has been published by London Review of Books (and again here), and The Irish Times.

I also write creative non-fiction, which has been published by Focal Point Gallery and Harlow Arts Trust.

Because of my first novel, I have a lot of thoughts on the french girl trope and aesthetic. Some of these thoughts were published by Fashion Journal.

I compared the worker’s rights of Deliveroo drivers and tradespeople historically in an article for a book, Made from this Land.
