“You have so many strings to your bow you are practically a harp.”

Based in London, UK, I am a generalist journalist – and I dare you to say that three times in a row. I write features for The Times and Stylist, reviews for The Telegraph, opinion pieces for The Independent and The Guardian, host events for the London Book Fair, British Library and Waterstones, conduct corporate speaking engagements, and am active across social media creation and consultation.

I am available for commissions and projects in all areas – if you can think of it, chances are that I know how to do it (and have!) My principal topics of interest are neurodiversity, stigma, books, internet culture, and The Archers – but really anything with a human interest component, or that simply requires words written or edited in a clear manner. My aim with work has always been to entertain people and to help. Sometimes I’ve managed this, sometimes not, but it is something that I really hope comes across in my books and when I interview people about their own work.

I have held roles at BBC Four and BBC Radio 4, British GLAMOUR, Twitter, The Telegraph, The Times and EMPIRE and the agency That Lot. I’ve won a film journalism talent scholarship at EMPIRE, and a Cruise Journalism Award for The Lady. For fun, and to my great joy, I captained The Jillies on the 2022-23 season of BBC Two’s Only Connect, and co-host a podcast exploring the world of non-alcoholic drinks. I have also had the ultimate accolade of being quoted on Have I Got News For You.

My first book, No One Talks About This Stuff, was published in March 2024. It is an anthology of personal essays from people about their experiences of infertility, baby loss, and childlessness, inspired by my experience – this is the support group I wish I’d had, as well as the book that wasn’t either about the science or from one viewpoint with a “traditional” happy ending. It is purposefully not organised by experience, and takes the idea of “listening to the similarities and not the differences” from the recovery community. My second book, It’s Not a Bloody Trend: Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult, was published the month before my first which feels very ADHD! It is a support group for anyone either waiting for an assessment or coming to terms with a recent diagnosis, with plenty of insight for people who just want to find out more about this trendy condition, which has been documented in medical texts since the 18th century, and elsewhere long before. I am so proud of them both and thrilled to have this opportunity to put them into the world.
