stories editing workshops
I write, edit, and teach flash fiction. I am Senior Editor for Workshops and Outreach at the international flash fiction journal SmokeLong Quarterly. I have an MA in Prose Fiction (Distinction) from UEA, where I was awarded the Annabel Abbs Scholarship. My stories have won/placed in the top 3 of The Bath Flash Fiction Award, the Reflex Fiction Prize, The Best Small Fictions, The Bristol Short Story Prize, The Manchester Writing School QMD Prize, been shortlisted elsewhere, and been published in various journals and anthologies around the world. I judged the Cambridge Flash Fiction Prize in 2018 and am a reader for other international flash fiction competitions. I am a brand new PhD researcher in creative/critical writing at UEA (part time). I offer flash fiction critiques, mentoring, and occasional workshops through SmokeLong.
