.Ahoy! I'm an Australian writer of children's and YA fiction. I’ve been writing since I was a child. As a six-year-old, my stories were often about animals encountering the supernatural. While my protagonists now tend to be human, I’m still fascinated by the unearthly.

My first book was published in Germany in 2018 - an educational reader for Klett Verlag. My current work-in-progress - a middle grade novel - was awarded an Australian Society of Authors Mentorship in 2019 and a 2020 Varuna Fellowship. This manuscript is heavily influenced by the Arteles Residency Program I attended in Finland. You can read about my time at Arteles here.

I hold an MA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Manchester Metropolitan University, a BA Communications (Writing and Contemporary Cultures) and a Graduate Certificate in Editing and Publishing, both from the University of Technology, Sydney. 

I work as a
freelance writer, editor and manuscript assessor. Prior to freelancing, I was Program Manager at the Australian Society of Authors, and had the wonderful job of running grant programs and awards for authors and picture book illustrators. Prior to that, I worked in editorial and production roles in non-fiction publishing houses.

My latest venture is an online writing school for Australian writers. The school will open in January 2021. Find out more at
