I regularly write for the human rights journalism outlet I am currently Creative Director of, and in the last year have been guest editor on a London art magazine. I am also working on a number of writing projects, including trying to shape my PhD research into something! And a coming of age novel set on a coast somewhere on the south of England, and a creative non-fiction collection of essays on friendship.

In 2022 I had a residency at Joya Air in Spain, and had a period of time to focus on and develop my writing practice.

Some examples of previous writing projects.

Dammed
I came joint runner up in the 2010 National Welsh Rhys Davies short story competition. From over 600+ stories submitted to the competition, mine was chosen out of a short list of 60. In addition - my story Dammed was one of only three taken from the eleven winning stories, and adapted for broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on March 10 2010.

The judges Stevie Davies and Niall Griffiths had this to say about Dammed:
"Dammed is a monologue which evokes, in a suggestive and imagistic style, the bitterly valedictory mood of    the aftermath of a death. Helplessly inert in the face of family pressure, the narrator records the breaking of a dam in an explosion of sensual self-assertion. The narrative use of imagery is striking and memorable".

Poetry
My poetry has been published in a selection of poetry zines and publications including Rising, The Illustrated Ape, and X-mag poetry magazines among others.  Ive performed at poetry nights like Shortfuse, Speakeasy, and on Salena Goddens Saltpetre radio show when it graced the airwaves on Resonance FM and once with John Hegley at a strange little one off poetry night at the RCA.  I don't really focus on my poetry anymore, but sometimes they pop up.. out of nowhere.  Most recently: The Great British Bard-off

Collectives
As a part of a collaborative film writing group, I wrote a number of experimental short scripts over the period 2003-2005 and continue to collaborate with art collectives such as Clear as Mud.

Performance Texts
The Value of Salt
I was commissioned to write this piece by Professor Joe Kelleher from Roehampton University, who is also a member of Theatre Pur. It was for an undergraduate module at Roehampton University, where first year theatre students take a play through every theatrical process, from inception to production. As an adaptation of King Lear, it was heavily influenced by the work of Heiner Muller and Heiner Goebbels. This piece contains no stage directions.

The Car (A Eulogy)
Written as part of my BA degree, it was taken up by Roehampton lecturer, Sylvia Vickers, and staged in association with Sam Walters in a small production at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond. Written about the end stages of a claustrophobic relationship on the brink of violence, this play uses a particular kind of poetic text to convey the myriad ways that cruelty can be measured out, and masochistically endured. This was also adapted into a film script.
