I’m a Lecturer in Creative Writing for third year undergraduates and on the MA in Creative and Life Writing at Goldsmiths and a Tutor on the Writing Literary Short Fiction course for the Granta Writers’ Workshop. I’m also a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of East Anglia.
I independently give online courses in Writing Experimental Memoir, Writing Experimental Fiction, Writing Creatively About Art, Writing Short Fiction, and Making a Start with Literary Translation, along with one-off thematic workshops. To keep informed about my upcoming in-person and online courses and workshops, I recommend following me on Instagram and subscribing to my Substack.
You can find my self-paced course in Experimental Fiction created for New Writing South here.
