About
I am a novelist and Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing and English Literature. Since 2018 I've been course leader for the MA and MFA in Creative Writing.
I am the author of the novels LOST BOYS (Little Brown 2008) and SUNSHINE STATE (Little, Brown 2010) and most recently UNAMERICAN ACTIVITIES (Dodo Ink 2017) and STRAYS (Haverthorn 2017) a collaborative work of experimental poetry based on my debut novel. I've also written numerous short stories and articles which have been published in various journals, websites and anthologies. I have a PhD in American literature from King's College London on the African-American author James Baldwin and the connection of his work to Civil Rights and post-colonial discourse. I'm also a founding member of Writers Rebel - we publish work about the climate and ecological emergency at www.writersrebel.com - and organise literary events that are also non-violent direct actions with Extinction Rebellion. I also help run the Twitter for Extinction Rebellion UK.
